<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 26545653, member: 4626"]Well for example Henning nickels were made in the 1950's so that law wouldn't apply to them (and they were made with the intention of spending them, not to fool collectors. The irony being Henning was arrested before he passed almost any of them, and he actually lost money making them). The person who made them definitely had an intent to defraud, and he served time for it, but anyone collecting them now is collecting them precisely <i>because</i> they are counterfeit, and have no intention of passing them off as real, being they would be worth <i>less</i> if they were real, not more.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. When coin roll hunting nickels I kept my eyes open for any known Henning dates. (1944 Henning nickels are the most obvious, since they have no mintmark on them, even though real war nickels minted in Philadelphia, or anywhere else for that matter, should. They also have no silver in them even though all 1944 nickels should.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
