Thanks for the pic! So after searching my little stash of pre-'60s nickels, I found this interesting thing... dated 1947

1944-War-Nickel-Or-Fake?-Henning-Nickel?

I know it's in the wrong location (not on the lower right leg of the R, but is it always located there?) Perhaps this might be a different die? Any other input would be appreciated...I've totally been bitten by the nickel-bug, and this would make for a great addition to my collection if I really found a Henning nickel in circulation

Here's to hoping...

Cheungsta, Your coin looks interesting. But I think it is a ding. The metal looks moved around the hole. Another thing to check is the weight. All of my Henning nickels with the hole weigh around 5.3g. Unfortunately, the Henning nickels I have that do not have a hole in the R weigh the normal 4.8g. So the hole and the weigh are great to show it is a Henning nickel but do not prove it is not a Henning nickel. Again, the known dates are 1939, 1946, 1947 and 1953. Then there is one other date Henning said he did but never revealed the date. The suspects are 1940, 1941, 1943 and 1951. But no one know for sure. Keep searching.
