<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 3133383, member: 22377&quot;]NGC briefly included a &quot;W&quot; or &quot;T&quot; on coins to denote White vs Toned. This didn&#039;t last too long.</p><p><br /></p><p>From an NGC article dated 8.1.2002:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Effective immediately, Numismatic Guaranty Corporation will no longer apply the &quot;W&quot; designation to its certified coins. This letter was used to indicate that a silver or nickel coin was entirely untoned, and its application was limited to certain modern series.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason for ending its use is simply that the marketplace doesn&#039;t see a great need for this designation. It was introduced by NGC about 2-1/2 years ago at the suggestion of some dealers and collectors who wished to distinguish between toned and untoned coins. A recent re-evaluation of this designation by NGC suggests that it has had minimal impact on the coin market.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/774/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/774/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/774/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
