<p>[QUOTE="CuratedByAnAngel, post: 17556595, member: 141390"]Hi, I am new to CoinTalk. I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on a coin I found while looking through rolls of coins at my bank. I am not an expert coin collector but I do look for Silver coins in pocket change and rolls from the bank. While looking through a roll of nickels from a local bank I came across a 1943 nickel with no mint mark on the reverse. I looked into it and I came across the story of Henning nickels. I read the pamphlet by Stuckey that claimed Henning made 6 years of counterfeits but only 5 of the years are known. I think I may have found that 6th year. This nickel I have is dirty and blackened but I do not see a mint mark above the Monticello. It also has a curious line like some of the Hennings do on the reverse but it is under the letter I. I know that Henning was said to have dumped a large portion of the counterfeit nickels in a river in, I think it was Pennsylvania. I metal detect and the blackening on this nickel looks like when you get coins out of the ground metal detecting. I was just wondering what you guys thought. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
