djjacket New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 3:32 pm Found a 1943 Nickel without a mintmark coin roll hunting. It is not in the best of shape and the missing mintmark is most likely wear, but I wanted to post some pics and see what you guys think. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 4:02 pm Very interesting. Can you see if there is a small hole in the R on the reverse in PluRibus. I cant remember what year Henning Nickles were made, but they all used the same reverse it seemed, and the R is the Key on the reverse. Does it have the same Ring as a silver one?

djjacket New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 4:26 pm I see some mention about Henning nickels, but it was a 1944 I believe. I do not see any curls or rings in the R. I weighed it along with a 1943 P 1943 P - 4.85g 1943 "no P" - 4.76g It does appear it may have been taped in a book or something based on the yellowish in the mintmark area. I wonder if some acetone might reveal a worn mintmark, but I didn't want to clean it yet. Edited by djjacket 02/26/2013 4:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

djjacket New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 4:41 pm I figure that it is a worn mintmark as the coin is well worn. Probably why I was able to find it in a coin roll :) Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 5:13 pm Henning claimed to have made 6 different reverse dies. Some had the hole in the R and some didn't. I agree the above nickel appears to be a War Nickel with a weak/worn mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 1:50 pm I increased my zoom level to 800% and it looks like a really faint "S"... Maybe it is worth sending out if either NGC or PCGS never graded a 1943 this low. Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 1:54 pm On second thought, maybe it's not worth grading as some of the basement slabbers would grade this "P,D, or S" with "EF-45 Details" and list it as a error. Report this Post to the Staff
