Nice circulated example.
Nice!
I’m hoping to eventually snag one of those for my collection.
Great backstory to them.

I'm hoping to find one in circulation.

those are cool/famous
Nice one!
Never have I thought of owning one. Life is full of surprises!
I have NO idea on its value. Got it in a collection.
How can you tell it is a Henning?
When I was actively accumulating these around 2000, they could be found on ebay for $10 or $15. The cheapest one in ever got was $1, and that included a genuine 1944 nickel. And, that Henning was in AU or better condition (not quite as nice as DCarr's uncirculated example).
Nowadays, I think they bring around $75 to $100, but I haven't priced them in a while.
They regularly bring $200+ on eBay
It is 1944, a date that should be 35% silver with a large mintmark above the Monticello. The mintmark is missing! Ahhhh!

I have a 1944 missing mintmark that I do not feel is Henning. What does it weigh? What is the diameter?
At sentencing, the judge asked Henning why he did what he did. As the story goes, Henning said he resorted to counterfeiting because he had to pay for the counterfeiting equipment (which was expensive!) 😆

Well, that does almost make sense.
In this day and age he'd probably win his case with that logic.
Seriously?! Like others have commented, I remember picking up examples for a tenth of that price in the 90s / 00s. That's enough to make me dig through some boxes and see if I have a duplicate to unload.

Nice find.
After the 100's of Nickel boxes, I still have never hunted one down.
Congratulations.
