[QUOTE="bradleymxz, post: 314080, member: 11681"]Hello, my first post. I found an odd nickel while rolling nickels at my place of work. It appears to be a non-silver alloy 1944-S Jefferson Nickel. It appears to be of regular copper-nickel alloy. It is a little bit wore, most likely in good to very good condition, but has NO tarnish that you see on wartime nickels. For the condition it is in, its has its original luster, which is odd. I have war time time nickels in nr mint condition that show tarnish. Also, this nickel does not make the ting sound of a war time nickel, but the same sound as a regular alloy nickel. It has the large letter S over monticello. I was wondering if this could be another version of the Henning counterfeit nickel. I know he forgot to put the P above monticello, but ive also heard from many other people that he made nickels with different reverses. Im about 99% sure its non silver and about 75% sure its counterfeit. Is this a possible mint error? Striking a 44 S on copper nickel alloy or a counterfeit?[/QUOTE]
