I'm not familiar with 1946 Henning Nickels. Are they as good as the '44? What are the markers to look for? |
I've got a 1944 also. I actually found it while searching through a large mixed lot of circulated Jeffersons. I was SO excited when I found it, especially because I immediately knew what it was, and never having seen one in person.
Henning did make several other dates, but I believe the 1944 was the most common. Per Wikipedia he also made counterfeits of 1939, 1946, 1947, possibly 1953, and possibly one other unknown date.
