<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 538636, member: 15518&quot;]There&#039;s been a few other threads about the Henning nickels here on CoinTalk... all with good information. A few minor discrepancies here and there (it was the <i>Cooper</i> River in Camden NJ, not Copper, and the Schuylkill River is directly across the Delaware River in Pennsylvania). The booklet &quot;The Counterfeit 1944 Jefferson Nickel&quot; by Dwight H. Stuckey has also been mentioned. The blanks were 79.1% copper, 20.5% nickel and 0.4% iron; leftover blanks seized from him were supposedly used to make real coins... however, over the years the legend of Henning has grown considerably, so I&#039;m not sure if this is true or not. I do remember there was an influx of these nickels back when I was in grammer school (1952 I believe) that got me interested in coin collecting as a hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
