W after Grade on NGC Labels
In the early 2000s, NGC trialed adding a "W" after the numerical grade on a label to denote that the coin is not toned - and is "White". This was discontinued after a short period, and there are collectors specifically looking for coins graded by NGC with the "W" showing (as well as "T" for coins with toning). These appear in GreatCollections auctions on a regular basis.
