FDC applied to coins means "Fleur Du Coin" and usually refers to Proof coins. They are made almost exclusively for investors and collectors.
A coin designated as "FDC" means that it has the best possible finish and is the finest specimen of the coin possible to make (when it left the mint).
A Proof FDC coin is made from specially prepared and polished dies, it may be hand finished and could be made from the same metals as the equivalent circulating coins or, a variety of precious metals such as silver, gold or platinum, amongst others.
Proof FDC coins are always suitably packaged to protect the coin and the finish, and will be priced well above their face value.
