Hi, Hoping someone could tell me if this could be a possible Henning nickel. It does not have the loop in the R of Pluribus, but does have some abnormality there. I researched a bit on the history of the Henning nickel, and found some conflicting information concerning additional markers, especially for this year. Found some information that it might have a dot near the upper left of the Monticello building, which this coin appears to have, but nothing definitive on this marker (that I found). Thanks in advance for any insight or information and of course opinions  UPDATE I've added some links which include photos of other Hennings showing similar rim markings. The information also states that the no loop R Hennings have weights between 4.7 - 5.1 grams. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/co...fake.339880/http://goccf.com/t/53117&whichpage=1Where would I take the coin to find out for sure if it is or isn't a Henning counterfeit? Thanks again! I posted some of this as a reply, but haven't figured out how to delete that entry yet so my apologies for any duplicate info.      Edited by mjkeaa

Forgot to mention, the coin's weight is approximately 4.8 grams.

I also thought it looked like a Dryer Coin. Also, Henning nickels are all overweight from what I understand, and 4.8g would actually be a little under the normal weight. That leads me to believe it is a normal nickel that was damaged.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

The rolled over rim leads me to the same conclusion as @tcd.

Here's some info on a 1944 Henning. It looks to have similar rim and edging to the 1946 nickel I have. But a lot of nickels probably have the same appearance too due to their age. Based on this info, does it still look like just a damaged regular nickel or could it possibly be a Henning?   |

I agree with above, your coin also does have does not have the dot above Monticello, what your arrows are pointing at are contact marks.

I agree with everyone's remarks above. What you have is a regular US Mint worn-out damaged nickel. Not a Henning. |

Thank you all for the input. I really appreciate it. Since some of the Hennings have the looped R and some don't, what other ways are there to differentiate a Henning nickel from a regular strike nickel? I saw where a marker was the dot on the left of the dome (I think someone said mine looked like a contact mark, it's a dot, I just am not very good at photography  Does anyone know of any other markers for these coins? Thanks! |
