<p>[QUOTE=&quot;juris klavins, post: 4631196, member: 76693&quot;]&quot;It has been estimated that Henning produced almost a half-million of these nickels in 1954, and nearly 100,000 of them went into circulation before the Camden County Coin Collectors Club noticed the missing mint mark and tipped off the Secret Service early in 1955, who traced the operation back to Henning&#039;s home in Erial.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately for the feds, Henning dumped an estimated 200,000 of his nickels in the Cooper River in Cherry Hill [NJ] before hightailing it out of town and fleeing to Cleveland, Ohio.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only 12,000 of those coins have ever been recovered from that river. Another 200,000 may have been dumped into the Schuylkill River in Pennsylvania, none of which were ever found. Henning also produced the years 1939, 1946 and 1947 era nickels, but the 1944 without the identifying mark is the money coin for collectors.&quot;</p><p>The entire article can be read here:</p><p>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/local/south-jersey/2015/04/20/henning-nickel-counterfeit/26070351/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/local/south-jersey/2015/04/20/henning-nickel-counterfeit/26070351/" rel="nofollow">https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/local/south-jersey/2015/04/20/henning-nickel-counterfeit/26070351/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
