What do you look for on a 1944 Jefferson Nickel to detect a counterfeit?

Found a 1944 Jefferson with no mintmark. I don't know if it's a counterfeit or one of the errors that got out.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Deja vu all over again. I knew there was a messed up R. I'd never heard of these before and now 2 in a week.

    The R in pluribus did it. The hole is very distinct. Obviously counterfeit with the help of that picture. Thanks kranky.

    The whole coin looks queer and doesn't feel right. The profile is
    quite wavy on Henning's coins.

    edited for spelling.

    One thing a lot of people do not know is that Henning counterfeited other dates as well, some of which used that same reverse die with the hole in the R.
