1944 Jefferson nickel

LOL - indeed you might!

Willy’s first specimen appears to be a Henning but I’d have to dig again to find the resource that offered that under weight specimens may be Chinese knockoffs. It’s been a few years since I researched the subject (just after I found mine) but I cobbled together the information from multiple sources.

If only someone could do that more formally…time will tell. (Maybe even a signed text).

I cover what is reported about Hennings, and much of it is either incomplete or flat out wrong. My own research proves there are other reverse dies he used besides the popular ones and popular die markers people look for. I have Hennings that are overweight, underweight, and a few at exactly 5 grams. Some Hennings have none of the popular die markers. Below is a preview of what the book will cover on this subject. (The barcode is a dummy one until I get one this week.) After reading this, you might have to recheck all your nickels with the dates he minted.

 

What you wrote a book on nickels

 

found it all the info the othe nickel has absolutely no die markers

 

@Willysilver

Over time here at CT, you will see several recognized experts (e.g., Mike Diamond, Fred Weinberg) and several emerging authorities and hardcore hobbyists (e.g., Ed/paddyman, Joe Cronin/jcrow, insider, Rick Stackowski, many of our moderators and perennial posters). You’ll learn to recognize the folks with the most reliable responses to learn from. And with that said, don’t discount that some infrequent posters have valid responses and information to offer. The community here can generally steer you in the right direction. You just can rely more so on the experts for the final word on things.

 

love paddy hes always been respectful to me and you as well i am grateful for that im from Mass Weymouth ma ive been into coins since i was 13 years old but I started playing video games pinball there went my coins I used to to buy rolls of nickels and bang them out to the size of quarters with a 2 lb sledge hammer can you imagine the Nickels in 1980 I banged to the size of a quarters unbelievable also was kind of a creep as a kid got a lot of coins growing up and sold them to the coin stores for I don't even know man if I still have the coins now that I had when I was a kid I'd be a millionaire

 

So you’re the guy who made all those error coins! Don’t worry: some of our senior members here ‘modified’ LWCs to pass for dimes back in the day and lived to tell the tale without serving any time in juvy!

We all have stories of the coins that got away. Part of youth and inexperience. And a matter of priorities. We all might be happier and richer if we knew better.

 

While I’m at it, I should also note that our members who collect Ancient’s are amongst the best I’ve seen. Many write lengthy contributions that emerging collectors can rely on. Browse their posts even if you don’t collect ancient coins. I don’t but find their contributions informative and interesting.

 

yes sir exactly can't dwell on the past got to look into the future I'm going to start taking this very seriously building my room building some shelves buying all the lighting I need I'm going to do this thing right and it's not about the money with me it's about the hunt it's the addictive compulsive personality that I have just finding it is more exciting than actually selling it I've done enough selling I've been selling since I've I used to sell gum in elementary LOL amongst other things in junior high in high school you got to remember that was the '70s and '80s I'm 56 and I lived in Weymouth what else was there to do cool man good talking to you I'm on the hunt I got to separate all these nickels now put the dates in order and then when my microscope comes I can start looking at these mint marks I got all the important dates and MM

 

Although if this Jefferson nickel no mint mark 44 comes back at over $100,000 I will be thinking about selling that that's a life changer

 

That's impressive buddy really impressive thank you for sharing that with me man

 

But I've learned collectors and error collectors are two two different worlds I'm an error collector. Not an ancient coin collector if there's an error on a coin I'm going to find it I'm a Gemini I pay very very good attention to detail I don't miss a trick

 

Quick question how do I get rid of these ads on coin talk man I'll buy whatever I need just tell me how to get rid of these ads

 

My Henning is my most valuable find and I’ve not seen another with the same pairing. Joe tells me he’s had a look at another with the same pair and I think it’ll be in his book. I can only estimate its value around $200+. The 1944 are more common since they are more identifiable. So they are generally less valuable as a result. Still, to find 2 in the same purchased hoard is a story in itself. Fun finds for sure!!
