As such, they are collectible in their own right, though technically yes, they are illegal to own. Report this Post to the Staff
Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 08:49 am Thanks for sharing the article. I found it to be very interesting. I've never really looked into Henning nickels, although they've been talked about many times on this forum. I would very much like to acquire one now. I think I'll do a little window shopping.

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5209 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 11:43 pm Congrats. Other than a 1950D all I need to find for self "end all be all" CRH satisfaction is finding a Henning. And knowing my luck I will find one before I find a 1950D. Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 05:33 am Personally I think finding one of the harder to distinguish off dates will be easier then a 1944 Henning since they have become well known and more people are looking for them. Look at all of your 1939, 1946, 1947 and 1953 nickels first for the hole in the R of PLURIBUS on the reverse. But then also get familiar with the rough bumpy surfaces of the fields and the softness around the letters to help find the off date Hennings without the defective R. There are plenty of Henning photos on this forum to help see this effect. Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 7:48 pm Quote: So much for ridding the hobby of counterfeits. Is it not illegal to buy and sell counterfeit USCoins? I believe it is legal to own counterfeits produced before the Hobby Protection Act was passed in 1973. Fakes and repros made after that have to be marked. Nice purchase! Report this Post to the Staff
