Here is an update to this thread. Ken sent a unit to me and I took a sampling of readings of my Henning nickels along with readings of a sampling of late 1940's and early 1950's nickels. My readings were very consistent.
1944 Henning nickels (I ran 10 of them and the readings range was 79-82
1939 Henning nickels (I have two) readings of 80 & 81
Regular circ US mint nickels date range of 1946 to 1954 (quantity 10) reading range of 70-72
So I could see from the readings the unit could distinguish the small difference in composition of the Henning Nickels.
Thanks again Ken for sending a unit to me. It was very interesting to experiment on the Hennings with it.

pyrbob So glad you could do testing on your many Henning's. TFD's data base on tough alloy now greatly expanded!  Thank you. As you know I disagree with ANA's assessment of his dies as a poor transfer copy. Maybe they were looking for something in MS64  . His passed.  |

Finding a Henning is one of my dream fines from a box. I will get one someday.

ICG might do it. I doubt you could get ANACS to do it and I am about sure PCGS and NGC won't.
This TFDwall device sounds interesting.

Not all Chinese coins are fake If you meant the back of the magnetic array? OH yes definitely fake! A whole lot of force is required to pry off that ferromagnetic copy of a silver "Fat Man" dollar |

Some Chinese guy sold them to my Dad and said they're old Chinese coins.
Mine do stick to the magnetic

 ly "real" worth $500 to $800 or more slabbed. 27 grams 89% silver Fake worth $3.00 $7.99 (on ebay now )( look up fatman dollar)light weight or over weight Unknown alloys from highly, to just barely, to not at all magnetic. All fakes so far have tested bad on a TFDwall. Edited by tokenmast

Conder101 TFDwall can also scan bullion bars and rounds in under 10 seconds more like 3 seconds  that is if you collect silver not brass the Hennings took about 60 seconds to test. |
