<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3911160, member: 106826&quot;]Thanks for the extra pictures Alexander - here&#039;s what I see:</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li>Regarding my PM, I don&#039;t see either of the diagnostics for the Henning nickel.&nbsp; The thing to look for are: a very washed out obverse/reverse, a loop in the R of PLURIBUS or a dot above the Monticello to the left of the dome adjacent to the corner gate.&nbsp; Mine has the dot (pictured below).<br /> </li> <li>No doubling on the reverse.&nbsp; It&#039;s a prominent doubled die so if it had been, even on worn nickels is very apparent.<br /> </li> <li>Your nickel has the Reverse of the 1940.&nbsp; On worn nickels, the diagnostic to use is the S in PLURIBUS.&nbsp; Comparing the two reverse pictures above you&#039;ll note that there is a serif in the S on both coins.&nbsp; If your 1939 had been the Reverse of the 1938, the top curve of the S would be smooth without the notching.&nbsp; On coins that are in a higher grade, the steps of the Monticello and the second T in STATES can be used.<br /> </li> <li>The 1940 appears to have a minor CCW rotation error.&nbsp; This is within minting specifications so it doesn&#039;t bring extra value.&nbsp; I understand, however, that collectors do give the CCW errors more attention than CW errors.</li> </ol><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1030838[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1030839[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
