So today at the spokane coin show, a really cool display 1944 henning nickel with the Coin World magazine article all for 75 bucks! What a cool setup I was curious if anyone thinks this is a good deal. And yes its a true henning nickel |

I would love to own one of those. Unfortunately, the easiest place to find varieties, errors and other coins ( ebay) won't let people list them. If anyone has one they absolutely need to get rid of, I would be interested. |

They are counterfeit. But people do collect them. Why? I don't know. Give me the real deal. IMOHO

Here is some good info... http://www.numismaticenquirer.com/T...0Nickel.htmlYes, people do collect them. However, there are those that have them and don't even know it - often called a 44 No P. I would love to own one but have had little luck in finding any. It is pretty rare but I've heard of a few CRHers that have found them. |

But how do you spot the non 1944 ones, because not all dies have looped r (or the open hole on r) for example there are tons of no mint mark 1939 nickels. Or is the looped/open holed r and the weight 4.7 grams to 5.4 the only way to tell. |

I have two 1939 Hennings. There has also been several posts in the past of off date Hennings. All of them have the hole in the R. I am collecting Hennings to study the reverse without the hole in the R for diagnostics. Of course the rough grainy surfaces and the softness of the letters are things to look for. Sometimes there are small pimples that help to identify them. Unfortunately work is so busy lately that I have just been accumulating Hennings and have not studied them. I will have to get back on the project.

last week at the local coin club meeting I got a small cigar box with counterfeit coins in it in the club auction for $18. Inside were 3 counterfeit nickels, a counterfeit Morgan, Barber half & Buffalo 5c. I was most interested in the nickels. There was 1 1943 piece without the mintmark, not sure if it was a Henning piece, 2- 1944 pieces, both without the mintmark but only 1 had the hole in t he bottom left leg of the R in PLURIBUS. here's some pics...   |
