Loco Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 5:34 pm Is this what I think it is? I feel it's a 1939 Henning! I just got a new USB microscope and thought I'd check out some of my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15388 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 6:50 pm Concur ... that is likely a 1939 Henning based on the reverse image. You can read our collective knowledge (at that time) on Henning diagnostics at this thread ... http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=53117 Value ... check ebay listings and you can get a good idea. Nice find. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 7:22 pm Actually I don't think you will find a 1939 Henning on ebay. I have only seen 1944 Hennings on ebay. IMO the 1939 is more valuable then the 1944 Henning. I have a wanted ad on this forum looking for a 1946, 1947 or 1953 Henning nickel offering $250 to the first one of each date offered to me. I have two 1939 Hennings so I didn't list it in the wanted ad. If I saw this Henning on ebay I personally would go as high as $150 for it. This should give you an idea for an estimate. I should also point out you don't have enough posts on this forum to offer it for sale here yet. With all of the past posts about Hennings here I would think this site should be a great place to sell it if that is what you have in mind and I would suggest actively hanging around to sell it here at some point. If you don't want to sell it and keep it for your collection then I certainly understand. I know I would keep it. Again, nice find and congrats! Report this Post to the Staff

Loco Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 09:34 am Isn't relly weird that I'm excited about finding a counterfeit coin. Now I'll be inspecting every 1939 nickel I can find! Report this Post to the Staff
mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 02/04/2014 11:15 am Don't forget that Henning made counterfeit nickels dated 1939, 1944, 1946, 1947 and 1953. Be sure to check those other dates too. I need to check my own album now! Report this Post to the Staff
