<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kSigSteve, post: 3289294, member: 72008&quot;]His testimony to the FBI admitted of 6 dies used. This is confirmed with 1944 having a looped R and one without the looped R.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let’s first rule out the 1953 because it’s an S minted coin and all hennings have no mint marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>The link provided above has some great photos and Bob owns the highest graded Henning that has surfaced to my knowledge. All hennings lack mint luster and your 1939s seem to have some luster remaining. Nearly all hennings have a very flat and grey look. One of your 1939s appears to have damage on the R which has in the past been mistaken for the loop defect.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse dies that lack the looped R typically have a small circular die chip above and to the left of the Montecello dome. Below are my two 1944s, the one without looped R showing the die chip. Hope this helps, I wish it were true that the 1939s were hennings as they are very rare and do not surface often.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this is helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]869692[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]869693[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]869694[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]869695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]869696[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
