pyrbob, I almost fell over because I thought it was from the mint w/no MM! Then I realized it wasn't silver... Then a local and well renowned (for being dishonest) coin dealer offered me $35 for it, and I knew something was up!
Spot 1 might be what you are talking about? I appears more of a blob than a dot to me. Spot 2 looks more like a dot on the right side, but the picture is very decieving!
That's it. Henning claims to have made 6 reverse dies. It appears like half of the Henning nickels I see have the hole in the are and half don't. I have been trying to find die markers for the reverse without the hole so I can use them to find the other dates he claims to have made. They are 1939, 1946, 1947 1953 and another he never divulged. The dot or blob over the left side of the building is something I noticed on some Hennings without the hole. Actually $35 wasn't a bad price for this. It is about the highest I would pay for one in this condition. So far I have pulled a 1939 from circulation but that was with the hole in the R.
I have a henning (1944) in which I was thinking of selling but thought it was illegal. So as long as everybody knows it is counterfeit, it is ok to sell? Anybody know where the law is on this info (just to be safe)?
Henning nickels are bought and sold on a somewhat regular basis. A lot of times the word counterfeit is dropped. There is even a dealer I know who advertises in the back of Coin World for 1944 no P nickels paying $15 each for them. I have posted in the wanted section offering to buy off date Hennings. There are several people on this site posting in the past that they would love to buy a Henning nickel so maybe selling it on here would be best.
I looked at the Hennings with the dot and none have an area matching your #2 arrow. But as I said, I can't tell from your photo if this is just PMD on your coin. A better photo of this area would be needed.
oh man......so even nickels with the solid are can be hennings? Geez, now I hafta go through all of mine again. So the small dot would be somewhere near where the #1 spot is on the above pic?
