  He listed under 2006 w but I don't see a w listed on NGC's holder... Must be a reg bullion unc.

  Bill, Those are the coins that got the label before PCGS alerted everyone of the Trademark grant.

  It looks like this coin is the Reg Bullion Coin (Non-W mintmark).

  NGC only uses the term on bullion.

  My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

  I think the seller used the "W" mintmark to hype his coin. Nowhere in the holder it says "W". What a "W"ise guy!!!

  Good call, I wonder if the buyer will notice.

  It's a bait & switch listing tactic. Issued by NGC before the First Strike controversy boiled over. It's not a Satin Finish "W". No need for a new spreadsheet item.
