I'd love to know the numimatic history behind this phrase. I assume that Fleur de Coin = PQ = Flower of Coin

French: Flower of the Die (FDC)
A perfect or virtually perfect coin. Fully struck up. No Contact- or other Detracting Marks visible with the naked eye, and only minute superficial imperfections, relating to the manufacturing process rather than any other cause, may be visible under magnification. Fully Lustre or Mint Bloom is present. Toning on Silver coins (if present) must be attractive. Brilliance (Color) on Bronze Coins should be 90% plus. Eye Appeal is outstanding. To reiterate, it is a completely flawless mint state coin with nothing forgiven. This grade is very rare, not to be taken lightly or accepted easily.

<< <i>I just bought one.....the 1909 PCGS 66RB, now , can I send it to PCGS for the picture service? >>
I would definitely send that one to PCGS for TruView service. You need to select the reholder option on the form and write PHOTO SERVICE in the "other services" area. I think that it is ten bucks per coin w/no minimum submission.
