Wow ... congratulations!  I recall your valued and insightful contributions to my thread years ago discussing identification tests for Hennings. You are now likely the owner of the largest hoard of Henning in existence. Looking forward to any insights you might share after examining the new coins. David |

pyrbob,
After studying all of these 'nickels' it would be a gift to collectors everywhere if you shared your findings.
It feels good to share knowledge.

Contributions which were valuable in the past continue to be so now and in the future. These 'gems' should not be forgotten. I just viewed the 2009 post. David, had you not resurrected the original I would not known that it existed. Thank you.  Awaiting an updated evaluation. 140 examples should be enough for a definitive essay.

Thanks everyone. I will post observations as I find them. The fun is on hold for now. My wife and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary this weekend at Rehoboth Beach. I will post some pics next weekend.

Good job, pyrbob! You really are becoming an expert in a very specialized topic. I am wondering what you plan on doing with all of your information? I know there are references to an old booklet but I think as it is old and out of print you might be ready to supplement it? You could publish another booklet or maybe have an in-depth webpage. Some ideas to include: History High resolution photographs, Die Markers Accurate weights XRF Analysis There was also a member that posted about detecting them by magnetic means. I also am interested in where this lot of coins came from. Do you think they stayed near his base of operations, or spread throughout the country? I previously posted one I acquired in Georgia. Best wishes, -wheatiefan |
