The first toner I ever bought specifically as a toner (~20 years ago) was a PCGS 1944-D MS66FB Mercury in an old rattler holder. I still have it. About 3 years ago I was at the SF summer ANA Convention and stumbled upon a NGC 1944-D MS66*5FS Jefferson toner. I hadn't been planning on getting that sort of a coin, but the toning and the date/mm/grading designation all pulled me along the path of purchasing the coin. A couple of months ago I saw this toned coin, PCGS MS66 1944-D, and knew that this was the next link in the chain. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

The designer's initials were added to the reverse die by hand. This was done by engraving the field around them to make them look incuse. If you compare to a regular Walker, the hand-engraved initials will look very crude and misshapen, and larger... also, the pic is on the cover of the CPG 4th Ed. Vol.2 (the latest one). It's the bottom pic on the left.
Is a FS-901 here.
Not sure if you can tell from the pic but you might.
