Looks like the R in Henley fake nickels (counterfeit). 1939ish

 

It's time for all of us to go through our jars of post-wheat copper pennies to see if we can find something similar. Heaven knows, when I find pennies like this while metal detecting, I usually drop them into... a jar, and forget about them. Looks as if it's time to go back and take another look.

 

man I wish I could give you more likes for this comment!

 

Thank you...

 

That’s the name I was looking for. I had one of those nickels

 

Did you find it CRH?

 

I was dead serious, thanks. I'm very new to collecting and had never seen an example like this.

 

Is that something like a Henway?

 

Since I have no idea what a Henway is, let me just suggest you google Henning Nickel...no, here

The correct question is "Whats a Henway"
Answer - " 'Bout 2 and a half pounds "

 

Oh, Don't give it away!!! Nowadays, the correct answer is: "... 'bout 10lbs!".

 

LOL - we had bantams

 

Keep up the search, thanks for the post, good luck.

 

That’s a DAIRY QUEEN penny. See the swirl?

 

Post Mint Damage! It only copper. Copper is a soft metal. It only takes a little pressure to damage the surface of copper. But, don't take my word for it. Submit it to PCSG for grading. It's only $35 to grade that.

 

I sure hope you are being facetious. You should put a LOL or smily face after if you are.

 

Sure did. Find them all that way.
