I wrote a thread about these designations a few years back, for those who are interested: The NGC "T" & "W" Designations--The Lost Designations
Thanks for reposting the source. Your write up is where I first read about the T/W slabs and that was in 2014 when I read that. Knowledge is power.
This is an INTERESTING Nickel that I sold on EBay back in September, so I no longer have it, but it was a cool thing to see!!! It was a part of jewelry at one time, as can be seen on the edge.
Googling the governor' name proved to be quite an interesting read. Don't believe I would of let this one go....
I was very surprised when I got it, I got it from a member here selling nickels and I thought the batch I bought were all env. Damaged but this one turned out to be much prettier than I thought! Now my favorite buffalo ha
Another raw war nickel I found on E-Bay. It was that same brownish color all over the coin when I got it. I dropped it in a acetone/alcohol bath and some funk came off. Maybe need to soak it a little longer.
Found this one wrapped in some plastic for a good price. The reverse has some serious die polishing going on. At first I thought it had been whizzed.
