This coin, http://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-P-Uncirculated-State-Quarter-Rhode-Island-Graded-MS-66-W-by-NGC-/270997965672?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3f18bccb68, is graded by NGC as MS66W. Can someone tell me what the "W" means? Thanks.
Seems like I remember a previous thread on this, but I can't find it. I don't remember the answer though, and am curious myself.
NGC used "W" for white and "T" for toned coins in the summer of 2000 or 2001. The program lasted for only a few months, was inconsistent in the letters given and was unpopular.
Cool slab. The W stands for white or toned free coin. They only did this for a short time the slab is cooler than the coin IMO.
