I'm VERY interested to note that the bottom of the "R" in PLURIBUS does NOT have the usual telltale hole in it. Interesting!

It looks like a Henning Nickel. They were counterfeited nickels that usually has a Mark on the are in PLURIBUS. But yours doesn't show this? Here are images:  The good new is that this coin has a lot of demand. Interesting find. Although it may NOT be silver. |

The looped "R" (or lack of) made me wonder, too.

Any info on the 1939's he counterfeited? In the same batch, I got 12 1939 nickels. Also got 96 nickels from the 1940's.

Very nice find. Henning claimed to have made 6 different reverse dies. I have (39) 1944 no p Hennings so far and about half have the hole in the are and half do not. So I don't see where one is any more scarce than the other. Your coin does have a die marker I have seen on some of the Hennings with no hole in the R. Look on the reverse above Monticello to the left of the dome and you will see a small dot in the field. When searching other dates for Hennings this is a marker I use besides looking at the R. Again, nice find.
