2foxy Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 01/25/2023 06:16 am I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong forum. A friend of mine believes that this 1943 P Nickel is a Henning counterfeit War Nickel. It is vastly different in color to a regular nickel and the metal just feels different. It weighs 4.8g about 0.2g shy of a regular nickel, but I can't find any information on any 1943 P Henning nickels. This nickel definitely does not look real. I've also added a pic of it next to a real 1941 nickel for comparison. It looks like its made out of pewter. Edited by 2foxy 01/25/2023 07:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 15715 Posts	Posted 01/25/2023 07:11 am Well - not a Henning nickel as the large 'P' is present on the reverse. Also to note - the Henning was dated 1944, which is why you cannot find anything on a 1943 Henning nickel. I see great wear on this coin with a 'circle of death' (Coin rolling machine) and dark toning of the coin. the weight is within specs. It may be feeling different because this is a 35% silver wartime nickel. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 49422 Posts	Posted 01/25/2023 07:14 am Use the search box upper left of page for info on Henning nickels. http://www.error-ref.com/henning-co...feit-nickel/ Also,you cannot compare a 1943 War Nickel to a 1941 non War Nickel they are made of different metals.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 1347 Posts	Posted 01/25/2023 09:39 am It is just an average War Nickel that is very worn. Has some silver value but that is all. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Pillar of the Community United States 9835 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 05:33 am Agree this is simply a worn 1943 silver War Nickel. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. Report this Post to the Staff
hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 1570 Posts	Posted 01/26/2023 6:03 pm Agree with the above. Wartime nickels seem to tarnish to a fairly dark color - back about 30 years or so ago when you could still find them often in circulation that's how I'd typically quickly spot one in a pile of change...
