Don't bid on the first ones you see. I look for lots with low price-per-coin pricing and free shipping. JCro57, I have a few. None slabbed. I'd like to get at least one of each year he made them. I find the back story on those amazing...or ridiculous....depending on which way you look at it. I mean, if you're going to counterfeit something, why counterfeit nickels??? Maybe to avoid drawing attention? I've read that he made them in 6 different years with 1 of the years being only a "maybe he did, maybe he didn't". Except for the war year nickels, it's difficult to tell a Henning from any others.The war years have no mint marks over the dome.
