When did NGC begin applying the FT and the * (Star) designations to coins? Also, do we know what the beginning Cert. # may have been? I have an old holder coin which I believe would have been graded both and am wondering if it was graded prior to the designations. Thanks...

Thank you for your questions. Unfortunately, we would not be able to determine the certification numbers when these designations began. 

NGC began designating Full Torch on April, 14,2003 per the newsletter below.

The star designation began in 2001 and has been expanded to many coin types throughout the years.

While it won't give you a specific date when it was graded, Conder's useful post here will help you narrow down the date range:
