Some of the diameters from some of hese coins seem very odd...... Do you guys see anything from Henning on here.....?

That's just a used up coin with as mentioned environmental damage, degradation. I really think these coins are cool i have a full set PCGS MS-65 and im looking to up grade they are readily available. Most of mine are blast white and some have a golden tone. Coins are fascinating and ya gotta love the history!

Yes that's very interesting story. Folks have been trying and still do counterfeit some more successful than others. Great post!
