GTG 1945-D Jefferson Nickel NGC (Appalachian)

No...not a star coin. I mean a "T" coin. The star is for exceptional eye appeal...the T was for toning right? So, a toned coin with less than stellar eye appeal could have been labeled a "T." My thoughts when I first guessed on this coin was that a star and a "T" sorta said the same thing...now that I rethink it they don't.

I have never seen a T. Very cool.

 

I have never seen a “T” NGC coin that wasn’t spectacular. It is a pretty rare designation. As is, the star given on a toned coin means it is pretty fabulous in terms of toning. Star T is a double vindication of the coin’s extreme eye appeal, and spectacular toning. Very cool!

 

There are some T designations out there where the coin is so-so and it probably just meant the opposite of white in those cases.

I would not call that so-so. I like it a lot, and would have bought it.

 

We just have different ways of looking at it. To me it's so-so and you like it.

There are more on eBay now that to me look average but some might like:

The dark bronze toning is definitely not everybody’s cup of tea.
