*** Edited by Staff to Add Year and/or Mintmark and/or Denomination to Title. It's essential to have it in the title.  ***I came across this NGC graded 1950-S quarter in an online auction. It's graded MS67*T...and for the life of me I can't figure out what the T means. Anyone ever see this before? What does the T mean?

From what I can find it is supposed to be for toned, but that was one forum post on NGC from 2003 and not an official source. Very nice Washington by the way, not much toning though in the photo.

In NGC coin certification, the "T" designation meant "Toned" I don't see it |

The "T" designation was an NGC letter used on the experiment slab labels, meaning the coin was "Toned".
They also used the letter "W" on the old labels: designation for "White" non-toned.
So I believe NGC made a mistake (error) and put a "T" instead of a "W"...

I didn't realize they used the star that far back. It's an old holder.

It's an old holder. Yeah, I almost kinda thought it might be a counterfeit slab because the font was all wrong. Then I realized it was an OG slab... |

Looks to be a Gen 8 slab. T was indeed for a "Toned" coin and a W was for a "White" coin. NGC Gen 8: This holder was produced Aug 2000 - Sept 2000 for 4 weeks. It has a revised front label with serial number moved below barcode and a slightly larger rear hologram than Gen 7. It's designed proved unpopular and was quickly discontinued... Rarity ~ Uncommon   EDIT: Your slab was incorrectly labeled. Edited by Marv65
