This is a very old thread.

 

Yes but that post was yesterday.
I imagine that the counterfeit war nickels are worth more then the genuine war nickels. And that most of the ones with no visible mint mark are either worn down by circulation, PMD or a greaser. ( Other than fakes.) I like the silver war nickels and I would love to have a fake one.

Oh. Got it now.

The counterfeits were made of copper/nickel. I have not seen 1943's but the 1944's pop up around here occasionally as they were made in Cleveland Ohio, not too very far away.

When I have the opportunity, I usually pay $5 each.

 

Looks like the mint mark has just worn away. It's prob. 35% silver is my guess. I don't think it is counterfeit (which would be worth more).

 

That's a well known counterfeit, known as a Henning nickel. Quite collectible.....

 

I thought the Henning was 1944? And looks mushy.

 

nope

and yes

 

could be a very faint P

 

That's wat I say too

 

First of all, this thread was made 12 years ago.

Second of all, there's a contemporary counterfeit known as a Henning nickel that matches the description.

 

Third of all Henning didn't make 1943 lol

 

I see an S outline as well.

 

No you don't lol

 

Bought this one at a show last weekend.
