Ow man in the last 3 boxes no silver no buffalos no proof nothing I did find 3x1942 but no mint mark so I think is just a regular nickel before they start with the War Nickel but I also found a 1943 nickel with no mint mark on it so I guess ia henning nickel , is the henning worth some ? Is litle rusted easy to see that is not a silver War Nickel ! |

Quote:but I also found a 1943 nickel with no mint mark on it That would be a unique find .... the Henning counterfeit War Nickel is dated 1944. Check the date again .... and if still convinced it's a 1943 then show us some photos so we can help ID.

"rusted easy to see that is not a silver War Nickel" corrosion can occur on any metal under the right conditions, as nickel searcher said we would need pictures to identify it |

Still need a '39-S, '43-D, '50, and '50-D. I think DylansDad needs to release some back into the wild :)

24 rolls today.....looked like all but one were CWR:
1939-1
1941-4
1944 P-1
1946-1
1952 d-1
1953-1
1953 s-1
1968 s-1
1970 s-3
there were a few late 50's but I only save '54 and earlier plus "s" mint coins, proofs and errors.
not great but not a washout either. I wish we knew the die markers for the non-holed hennings as one of the 53 nickels looks grainy and the edges look weakly struck, like the rims are not complete in part of it.

here is the 1943 I was talking about but after a better look in I think I'm seeing a S mint mark on it but I'm not sure I hope my eyes are tricking me ! what you guys think is there a mint mark or not /    today I searched 1 box and found 8 1939s one dateless buffalo and a 1943S and a 1945S plus couple upgrades but was it ! I loved this box many ms for upgrade my albuns ! |

Little hard to tell with the pics (the last is too blurry to see any detail). Blowing it up 300% in my browser though sure does make it look like there is an S on the back.

I think I'm seeing a S mint mark on it I know that I am seeing an 'S' mint mark on it ... so this is a corroded example of a 1943-S War Silver Jefferson. Worth about $1.80 in silver at today's spot price. Thanks for the photo. David |

yes........I do check all of my '55 coins for the OMM before I put them back into circulation, and the '54s I keep.
going to try and get my hands on another $50-100 worth tomorrow - hitting 3 branches of a local bank

I too blew the pic up. Yes, there is definitely a S mint mark there.
