Seen this on eBay tonight ...

Downies produced it?
Looks to me like a converted FDC
I have a question ... does anyone here know the origin of this FPNC?

Ha ha very funny runeway.

It wasn't produced by Downies.

It was a ridiculously overpriced converted first day cover.
Real value is of course very little more than the value of the coin (usually around $50 or so these days).

yeh I got one of those.
kinda cool being numbered but I would pay more than $20 for one
I would suggest looking around at garage sales etc as this stuff tends to turn over once people want to move the "dust collectors " in their lives

This is missing in my PNC collection I do have the FDC and carded coin though
Interesting how an individual could obtain 2000 of these coins in the first place ???

I spend a heck of a lot on OFFICIAL PNC's without having to fork out more for private issue stuff.   No thanks.

Did you notice how flimsy the cover was?
Because it was originally designed as a first day cover, the paper was too thin for a proper pnc and tends to rip in the area around the hole.
I believe the same to be true of all the fdcs altered to become pncs.

I bought a few APECs as well but they were fairly cheap,think 4000 only from Downies
Definitely FDC paper is thinner,official PNCs generally don't have the 4 postcode squares,notable exceptions are the 2000 Valour and 2003 Coronation PNCs
