ok, so I googled about these a bit more and it said counterfeited nickels in the years 1946, 47 and 55 wouldn't have a P on the top back, none of these do. BUT BUT BUT I have 3 others nickels one of from54 and doesn't a P, and another from 52 that also doesn't have a P, what does that mean? and the other one I have is from 1943 and has a S on the top back?

Wartime nickels (1942-1945) were minted with a large P,D,or S on the back, so you normally only see those years with the large mint mark in that location.If you try a search on this forum for "Henning" you'll get a bunch of info more quickly.

none of those look like henning nickels to me, sorry
and you dont have to worry about the buffalo, it would be more worthwhile to fake a silver dime.

That's '46,'47,'53 AND '39. All I need is the elusive '44. This ultimately got him busted, neglecting to include the Lg. mintmark.

I know a little about these things but the only one I know how to spot is 44 with the missing MM, So are the ones shown here Henings or not? I can not see the looped R from the pictures. The reason I ask is because I haven't seen a answer to this question

Not all Hennings have the defective R. In fact most probably don't but most of the 1944 Hennings DO have the defective R. The Hennings also have a slightly "mushy" appearance even when new. The pieces here do not show that and I do not believe they are Hennings.

Depends on the year.
If you're still talking about the '43, and it is on the reverse above the dome, then you have a wartime silver nickel that is 35% silver.
It's worth depends on condition, but will be worth no less than .0563 oz of silver. (Currently around $1.55)

so the S means it was made in San Fransico in 1943, P means Philly, and D means denver.
