Message:: [QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1297038, member: 29751"]Here is one of the lesser seen NGC slab varieties.  According to Conder101's listing of NGC slabs, this slab type was used for 4-6 weeks during August/September of 2000.  Compared to slabs used before and after this style, the certification number was moved below the barcode and was VERY small.  This change proved to be unpopular, and the use of this slab style was thus quite short-lived. This particular example of the NGC slab also includes the "T" designation used by NGC to denote "Toning" of the coin.  In addition to the "T" designation, NGC also used a "W" designation for a short time to denote a completely "White" coin.  Via communications with the good people at NGC, I confirmed that both the "W" and "T" designations were used from early 2000 through August of 2002.  The "W" designation (in my experience) was used quite heavily during that time on certain series of coins, whereas the "T" designation was used more sparsely.
