    You are correct, not a very popular generation and it only was in use for roughly 1 month Aug - Sep 2000 according to Conder101.

    Only used for month. Hmm now I wonder how many coins NGC graded that month?? Is there any premium for this slab??

    I have not seen any real interest yet for the NGC generations that come after the last fatty generation 5 holder. But NGC had a few transitional holders that were used for a brief time. NGC generation 6 was another transition slab that was short lived, only used in 1996, although in Conder's listing he was not sure for how much of 1996 it was used.

    As to the generation 8, if Conder's research was correct I would bet that there are not too many of those left out in the wild.

    I saved a few of them in my collection but did not like them. They rarely got stickered by CAC.

    the T (toned) graded ones were not necessarily deeply toned. Just not blast white coins.

    Here is one I have. Bought it and did not know what the W was for, but bought it anyway. Once I found out, Meh.

    I have seen plenty with the "w" but have never seen one with a "T"

    I remember these quite well. Many coins that appeared to be blast white were marked "T" and some mildly toned coins were marked "W". It had many of us dealers scratching our heads. I kmow Conder101 states thes were used very briefly, but my recollection was more like June into September before they were discontinued.

    The T and W were around for about 2.5 years (from early 2000 to mid 2002).
    See linked article from 2002 when NGC announced they were discontinuing it:

    I was under the impression they were mainly used in August, yet a couple of months on either side of August makes more sense.
    The Appalachian Hoard of wildly toned Jefferson war nickels were sent to NGC at that time. Mainly off the market, they do turn up on occasion.
