<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1347531, member: 12789&quot;]The irony of Henning&#039;s nickels is that he didn&#039;t end up making something with a large profit margin - given the economics of creating the dies, the blanks etc. it ended up putting him in the hole a bit.&nbsp; I wonder if the inanity of creating a counterfeit nickel played into the slapped wrist sentence?</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you think about it, but for the divot in the R of PLURIBUS - if he had made most of the coins dated 1946 or 1947 you wouldn&#039;t be able to easily discern the difference betwixt his coins and the US mint coins.&nbsp; I have wondered if he deliberately placed that divot on the R to make them slightly different - sort of like the Omega symbol on the Omega counterfeit $20s - a sort of maker&#039;s mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my nickel roll searching I keep hoping I will find a Henning nickel.&nbsp; I know people that have, and I am jealous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
