jipa Valued Member United States 267 Posts	Posted 08/15/2023 09:58 am hi. looking at henning nickles without loop in r and found out that there is a marker that was found on a 1953 henning nickle between the e and n in cents it looks like a dot so maybe there are more out there with markings like this that could be any where on the nickle I think maybe I found one 1940-d dot on front it sure looks the same but maybe maybe not see what you think there is some damage on coin too Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/15/2023 11:07 am @jip, while not all Hennings are overweight, that is a good first test. What does your nickel weigh? Also, for Hennings that don't have the looped letter R, there is a die chip above the left corner of Monticello rather than a divot. I'm not seeing that on your nickel.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 08/15/2023 12:45 pm https://www.error-ref.com/henning-c...feit-nickel/ The bottom of that article shows where the die dent is located to authenticate Henning nickels that do not have a damaged R. Yours is not the same position. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
