    The R isn't damaged and that's a good sign,the weight should be around or exactly 5.33 grams.

    My kitchen food scale only does grams, not .00 grams. But those are definitely Hennig nickels

    I'm officially confused as to if this is a business strike or a proof. It's not silver

    I've shown others like that, and you said it was an alerted proof, or something like that. Just curious, Mr. Snippy. o_O

    And a business strike looks very similar, just no frosted look. Gotcha, thanks.

    To the young numismatist that checks in here and scratches their head saying, why don't i have luck like that?, please, be patient. I think we all know my circumstances with coin are quite unique. I'm not rubbing any of this in, or bragging about my finds, i only post because I'm amazed by what i find, and want to share, that's it.
    Keep hunting, please keep posting your finds, and keep checking in here! Thanks again guys.

    Please give a detailed explanation as to why you think these are Hennig nickels. They aren't that common.

    See? There's this guy, Ralph Hennig, couple blocks away, makes these in his garage, throws them around the neighborhood for the kids.
    (I know they aren't HenniNgs. I've been spelling the name wrong since i started this silliness, just been goofing this whole time, but don't tell @potty dollar 1878, i think he fell for it! Keep it between just you and me ;))

    This is NOT a Hennig, Ralph uses a different mint mark.
