<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 146369, member: 1101&quot;]One other thing about Hennings: the defective &quot;R&quot; that many people use as the identifier for a Henning counterfeit does not exist on all his forgeries.&nbsp; Some 44 dates have it, some don&#039;t.&nbsp; The only way to find another of the dates is if it was paired with the defective R reverse die.&nbsp; If not, after decades in circulation there is simply no way to tell a fake from a real one. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a Henning in XF or so condition with original surfaces in the fields and on some of the protected detail.&nbsp; The original surface was slightly irregular (some tiny bumps, etc.) but once worn these disappeared.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I did identify some weak die cracks on some reverses, but I don&#039;t recall if they were in the defective R die or not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, if you aggressively search ebay you might get one cheaper - they are not always ID&#039;d as a Henning.&nbsp; Search for 1944 nickels with no mintmark; sometimes people try to sell them as an error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
