Quote:Can we see a picture? There was no mint mark on the reverse? That would make it an error or a fake. Here is pictures murrlington, 1943 with no mint mark, what do you guys think? I see nothing under the magnafaying glass to indicate its worn off

Looks like a henning nickel to me! Nice find! these are rare! Ti make sure, check the "R" in Pluribis for a loop in the left leg.
a henning nickel is a counterfiet made by some guy named Henning who made tons of them without the mintmark and theyve become quite collectible. Seems like a lot of people are finding them.

My first thought was that it was a henning as well. But I don't think he made any with the date 1943 that I know of. He made 1944 nickels without a mint mark. So I don't know about this one.

Wow thats very neat! Even if it is counterfeit, its still a cool piece of history. Congrads on the nice finds. I did 2* boxes of nickels tonight. One yielded some nice results. 1 hole filler: 49s. About 40 other keepers. I got a lot of 1939p nickels surprising. No silver or buffalo. This was all from one box. The other box was all 2011 ...  Two more boxes tomorrow!

I bought about $40 in nickels today and found a few from the 40's and 50's. Nothing of note really except for another 1955 P! Murrellington is going to hate me for this.

Sorry murrellington, but I've found about 3 1955Ps in my search (including one last week), but I'm also from Maryland. I still can't find a 1943D or 44s  .

Good point murry. I didnt think of that. but are we sure he didn't make ANY in 1943? He coulda made a few. And btw, I've found a lot of 1955P although I think I've rubbed that in your face enough  prolly 10-15
