Maybe A Henning Nickel (1946)

Very interesting, I'd say it's a winner!

That is exactly what I am talking about. I have quite a mix of levels. In the more distinct examples, it is a 'bar' that goes across the near bottom of the O. I have some where you can see the gap between the bar and inside edge of the O. Another cool variety on the looped coins is what I call the theta variant. There is a line across the center of the 1st O in Monticello so that it looks like the Greek theta. In one of the 1953 photos you've posted, you can see it. I have it on a couple 44s and 39s. It sure would be nice if the non-loops has as many distinct variants.

@Petespockets55: these are the dates to look for 1939, 1944, 1946, 1947 and 1953

While these are counterfeit, they seem to have value to collectors.

I noticed this 1946 henning listed on ebay earlier. listing is already gone congrats on selling the coin. wondering did you get the $800? Also did anybody on coin community purchase this item?

This is one of them contemporary counterfeits that almost all serious nickel collectors wanted to own, and even most curious ones would also like to hold one, that said what chances are there possibility of finding one in the wild these days?

Thanks Nickelcollector,

I look forward if ever I can get it in change, or in my kids piggy banks.

Dearborn,

I return what I see interesting with favor!
