Message:: [QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1472902, member: 29751"]I was away for the weekend, and I just got back.  I took a few new pictures of some of the W/T holdered NGC coins in my collection. 1944-D Jefferson Nickel, graded MS67T, NGC Generation 8 holder:  This is actually my favorite Jefferson Nickel in my collection.  The cheek is about as clean as you can get, and I love the hints of champagne toning.  All the more cool was the holder.  This one will remain in my collection for a long time as my War Nickel type coin.[ATTACH]185378.vB[/ATTACH] 1954 Washington Quarter, graded MS65T, NGC Generation 8 holder:  This coin is an example of the difference between how the "T" designation was applied as opposed to the ★ designation -- not all toning is "eye appealing".  I snagged this one on the Bay a while back for next to nothing, mostly for the old NGC8 holder and the "T" designation.[ATTACH]185379.vB[/ATTACH] 2000-P Virginia State Quarter, graded MS67★W, generation 7 NGC holder:  This is an example of how the "W" designation only applies to the color of the coin when holdered.  This quarter now exhibits a golden/champagne tone on both the obverse and reverse, despite the "white" designation.  My best guess for the ★ designation assignment on this coin is for the semi-prooflike surfaces.[ATTACH]185380.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
