BarlowAdams Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 4:05 pm I'm fairly new to collecting and especially identifying the possible error coins in my collection. Is this a transitional error War Nickel? Thanks for any help you can provide. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36916 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 4:13 pm Looks like a normal 43-P War Nic with a planchet lamination on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

BarlowAdams Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 4:31 pm I tried the drop test and it doesn't ring silver, but I've heard that is unreliable. Report this Post to the Staff

BarlowAdams Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 8:29 pm Noticed something on this coin that I missed before I put it in acetone. Looks like there's some sort of raised mark under liberty on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 9:01 pm There were counterfeit nickels about that time. They were called Henning nickels. The fake ones are worth more now than the real nickels. (go figure) Report this Post to the Staff
BarlowAdams Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 9:33 pm Are you saying you think it's possibly one of those? That's definitely an added letter or something, right? Mine does have a mint mark. And a laminate error on Monticello. Report this Post to the Staff
Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 9:40 pm No chance it's a Henning Nickel. All of them lacked a mint mark, that's how they were first noticed, and Henning (I believe) was caught. Report this Post to the Staff
