A genuine counterfeit

I just wanted to post my Henning nickel I found in the till at work today. I've looked for one for a while with no luck and there it was staring at me while counting the drawer down. Pretty excited

Finds like that are almost enough to make me want to spend the rest of my life standing behind a cash register!

 

Thanks for the link as I had no clue what a Henning Nickel is. I like reading the stories behind the coins. Now I know 3 nickel stories (Henning, Hobo, & Racketeer).

 

...almost..

 

Nice find.

 

I do occasionally come across some good finds but the public takes it out of me these days. So many people so brain dead from drug use, it's enough to make you hate it. I hope soon enough I can get a work from home job so I have more time to roll search.

 

Why would someone counterfeit something like this?

 

It's a very interesting story in Numismatics. Here are some links to get you started

My white whale!
I refuse to buy one, always hoping to find one
Just wouldn’t be the same
