If You Like Henning Nickels...

I have acquired over time 4 of Henning's 5 known dates: 1939, 1944 (No P), 1946, and 1947; I am only missing the 1953 and hope to acquire one some day. Presented below are nice, HD photos I took from my collection along with a brief blurb.

The 1939 with the Looped "R" in PLURIBUS - The second most common, but far, far scarcer than the 1944.



The 1944 "No P" - the most common. Here is the one WITH the Looped R.



...with the Looped "R" and the reverse die crack...



...and WITHOUT the Looped "R"...



The 1946 - the only one tougher to get is the 1953. These almost never come up for sale.



The 1947 - the third toughest to find. It's on the first comment since I can't add any more to my opener...

I only have the 1946 amazing collection!!!you missed a 53 recently,one sold on the bay for $800-$900 a few months ago the only one sold within time as i can tell.

 

Yeah. The seller was actually supposed to sell it to me! He said he forgot. It sold in literally seconds. Ugh

Hi, I am new to CoinTalk. I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on a coin I found while looking through rolls of coins at my bank. I am not an expert coin collector but I do look for Silver coins in pocket change and rolls from the bank. While looking through a roll of nickels from a local bank I came across a 1943 nickel with no mint mark on the reverse. I looked into it and I came across the story of Henning nickels. I read the pamphlet by Stuckey that claimed Henning made 6 years of counterfeits but only 5 of the years are known. I think I may have found that 6th year. This nickel I have is dirty and blackened but I do not see a mint mark above the Monticello. It also has a curious line like some of the Hennings do on the reverse but it is under the letter I. I know that Henning was said to have dumped a large portion of the counterfeit nickels in a river in, I think it was Pennsylvania. I metal detect and the blackening on this nickel looks like when you get coins out of the ground metal detecting. I was just wondering what you guys thought. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

 

Nice collection of nickels. I have one in my collection but don't recall the date. The 53 is rare. As a matter of fact, I don't recall ever seeing one.

Show both sides please, buy I highly doubt it. His 6th date was just another 1944

 

@Insider

You wanted to see some of these?


Also, do you have photos of the 'fake' Henning nickels made by the Chinese?

 

He’s off the Christmas list. Does the 1953 have a looped R

 

I like the 44. I’m surprised the guy didn’t get caught doing the no P one

 

Oh I see He did several in one day. Smart

 

I do have one

 

I never considered that. Counterfeiters copying a counterfeit. LOL

 

You have a 1946 Henning?

 

What years did Henning counterfeit this coin from in all?

 

hehe strangely enough I had to "test" a new payment method this week so I found a lil $1 BIN. On blowing up this pic I thought I saw both the die crack and the dot, and while not very clear in the pic there just might be a hole in the R. It should be here any day but these were the sellers pics (figured worth a chance for a buck and a test purchase lol)
In the end it's all what the scale says now lol

 

Worth a shot...

 

Guessing after 1953
