Henning Experts Needed. Possibly Have Found The 6th Date

Way too many pictures. I'm sure someone will chime in.

But he did 6 years. And was probably on some type of supervised probation or parole for another couple years after his release.
Bet he stashed some old dies. I'm Just putting myself in his shoes, I'm not throwing all of my hard work in the river and I'm gonna need a way to make money when I got out. Gotta think like a criminal.

All that plus the weight is normal for a mint issue. Sorry but I'm firmly in the not-a-Henning camp.

So send it in to PCGS.

@RedBeard - sorry man, you're just off in space on this one.

Alright. Now look. I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to break silence on this one. A close friend of mine is an ex-con. 3 Felonies, 4 Misdemeanors. Based on how he pled out he got 2 years w/o parole then 2 years in an RTC. Let me make it 100% clear, I don't agree with what he did, I think what he did was horrible and distasteful. However, he decided to make a change for himself.




He had PWID, Assault 1, AWDW, Poss of a DW by a minor, Poss of a Cntrl Sbst Greater than 1oz (coke), assault 2, evading arrest. Not exactly the cleanest rap sheet. Guess what? I've kept in contact with him for the last 3 years, I can respect 2 things about him. 1, he's honest as all get out. Why'd be plea guilty? Because he wanted to tell the truth. 2, he, while having done bad things, is a good guy. Guess what? He got released a year early and got parole after 6 months at the RTC. He's been drug free and hasn't caught a charge since. He has a kid, and he's been working an honest job to provide for his son because his dad was never there for him, and he doesn't want his son to deal with what he had to.




You guys were getting money? We didn't at the RTC. Lucky you.




Now here's a toughie, how about, if you really regret going to prison, and you hate it there, don't do the thing that got you there in the first place. I know. Nuts.


Don't assume everyone is like you. I know ex-con's who've shaped up, I know some who haven't. But guess what? The ones who really regret what they did, and hated what they went through are the ones who are clean now.

I was in an RTC for 2 years. I was there, not for criminal charges, but because of depression and mental health issues. That was no prison, but it was a placeholder in some cases. I had roommates who were there for attempted homicide. I had roommates who were there for homicide. I had roommates that were there for slinging dope. So guess what? I had to adapt to that environment. Guess what? I'm glad you're out of prison. Now start adapting back to the normal world and stop using your conviction as a crutch to try to play the victim. None of my roommates did that, and I can promise you they were probably a lot harder then you are.




You do understand the people responding have been doing this for decades right? From a probability standpoint, who likely knows more?

Grapecollects rock on dude. I do appreciate the words of wisdom and I agree with everything you said except for the fact that I was hiding behind a conviction or something like that. IDK how you said it. Look at Henning on paper which is his criminal record and there will be at least two different charges having to do with fake money. Then ask yourself what the majority of people thought he was doing in 1964. but let's just say you wouldn't have found me on a coin forums website a couple years back. I am a living example of turn my life around and not letting the past Define me. really stinks though because I am pretty sure that I am in the minority. Its just how the system is setup and its reality. I am blessed to have a family that stuck with me until I figured out what to do with my life. And I have finally found it in numismatics. I feel blessed everyday. But you gotta be real grapes some people never find their "coin community"

Sorry, add me to the non Henning club. The damage to the R is pretty clearly PMD, similar damage to the surrounding letters. Your drawing the conclusion thet this is a Henning largely based on the R, correct, then if he did use the same die as his prior counterfeits, why is this not identical to the others. Edit: also not seeing any signs of the "centers up die crack", again just damage. There is such a thing as coincidence on coins, especially more heavily worn and damaged ones. It's called Pareidolia.

As Coinfrog said, why would he counterfeit a nickel with a future date when he had the ability to create any past date. He had just a little bit of sense the first time around to not release a lot of the more easily red flagged currency, so why draw attention to ones self by releasing thousands of coins from the future.

Does not add up. Send it off to a TPG ( third party grader) and see what the outcome is. We're all just trying to help (and save you some time and money). Good luck!
