<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 4080541, member: 106826&quot;][USER=110528]@Mark webster[/USER] I posted in your other thread, but will do so here for good measure.&nbsp; We will need better photos to make a better judgement.&nbsp; Shooting from the hip, I suspect that those marks are the result of rust spots on the die that were removed prior to coining.&nbsp; These marks are generally in the fields and eat into the die face.&nbsp; This would account for a raised bump on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As others have noted (here and in the other thread), Henning nickels tend to be very mushy.&nbsp; My Henning weighs the same as a regular nickel, so while it can be a useful diagnostic, it&#039;s not absolute.&nbsp; We are looking for a loop in the R in PLURIBUS or a dot above the left side of the Monticello.&nbsp; Because your coin doesn&#039;t have the loop and the obverse looks pretty crisp, we are probably looking at a worn 1946 nickel with some anomaly in the field, perhaps caused by rust.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if I were you...I&#039;d explore this further.&nbsp; So post the pictures and let&#039;s see what we conclude.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
