Message:: [QUOTE="brg5658, post: 2111844, member: 29751"]I wasn't judging him, I just thought it was a useful thread and it's sort of difficult to find for the reasons that Vic stated (typing "T" into the search box is a little less than helpful).  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Back in 2011 I had contacted NGC about the dates for which these designations were used.  The answer was that they were used only from the "beginning of 2000 and were discontinued in August 2002."  My personal experience has been that the "W" designation (for white) was heavily used in that timeframe, but the "T" was used more sparingly. I have been fascinated for a while with the "W" and "T" designations, and have purchased a few examples whenever I see them up for sale and (of course) I also liked the coin in the slab. In the 5-ish years I have been browsing eBay and other venues with an eye out for these, I have seen only a small handful of examples of coins well outside the 2000-2002 window where the "W" or "T" designation was carried forward on a new label/holder.  I did purchase one of those coins, which was re-holdered sometime in the "pronged" NGC era, and the "W" designation was carried forward to the new label.  In general, it is the policy of NGC to remove these "W" and "T" designations when a coin is submitted for reholdering. <img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography-3/1967_Roosevelt_Dime_NGC_SMS_MS67WCAMEO_composite_zpse014fd5b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
