  Iv posted the nickel pictures before, I'm sorry I cant get a good picture of the cent. The problem with the cent is the date is wore. I just tried again, like 50 pictures with the digital I cant get it to show. When turned looks 50/50 to be a 22 plain. It doesn't appear it could be any other date. Under the best lope I have best I can tell for sure is 19-2. Are coin shows good to get these looked at? I'm going to a show on labor day weekend. What do you guys think of the nickel? I'm certain its not one of those henning nickels.

Wow, that looks to be a pretty good fake. I would love to hear other opinions

Depending on the size of the coin show, there may be a TPG there. If not, there are ALWAYS dealers that would give you their opinion on whether the 1922 is a weak-D or no-D... |

That nickel has me intrigued. It sure has the look of a silver War Nickel, but I guess the mint-mark must be filled with grease or has been removed. There aren't 1943 Hennings, are there (he did '44)? Can you get a close-up of the area above Monticello where the mint-mark should be? |

No, there are no 1943 Henning nickles that I am aware of- the date was 1944 no P, counterfeited. However, there was one obverse die among the Hennings that remained unknown. Some speculated that he had two obverse 1944 dies because that date is the most abundant.
However, there is a possibility that your coin could be the elusive 6th die and it is a possible founder piece, which would be incredibly exciting!
No matter what it is an interesting piece worth keeping. I am guessing it is not silver? Weighs in the right range (5 g)?

It looks silver to me. Probably not a Henning.
I'm thinking grease-filled die

When I blow the picture up it does look like there is something going on in the mintmark area. It doesn't look like damage.

Oh, that last picture does look like a D. Ill try and get some better pictures of the nickel when I get home.
This coin show I'm going to , I just looked it up, says 125 tables, auctions, and "free grading opionions" , maybe Ill get lucky on the penny. I need 8 more cents to complete my lincoln collection and 22 plain is one of them.

Pretty much has to be a Grease Filled Die on the nickel; as mentioned above Henning made his counterfeits in 1944. Plus, as also mentioned above, the color does not match that of a Henning. |

I am no expert on War Nickels. The obverse has the look of a silver nickel. But the reverse is interesting. The lettering on the obverse is merging with the rim, showing a fair amount of wear. But the lettering on the reverse is sharp with a distinct rim. Do War Nickels actually wear this way? It almost looks like the coin was cut in half and the reverse is from a nickel nickel (ha ha) instead of silver. You might want to check the edge of this coin. |

Yeah this nickel, looks just like any other War Nickel I have. I'm interested in weighing it, as someone on here said. I dont own a scale for this kind of thing. Im hoping its something more then a Grease Filled Die, but I'm thinking thats all it is. If thats the case I still think its a cool coin, being that the die only messed up on the mint mark. |

Well I had several dealers look at my penny at the coin show, and a few seemed to think it could be a 22 plain, so worn its not worth anything? A couple others didnt seem to care and said they couldnt read the date. I did buy a few cents at the show, I only need 5 more know to complete my set, of course I need 09S, 09S vdb, and 22 plain, the 3 big ones. Think I'm just gonna throw the 22 plain back in the dansco hole it was in for now. And as expected the dealers said the nickel was a Greaser. |
