FSH 1944 Counterfeit Henning Nickel - Sold!

ElKevvo · February 9, 2008 12:29AM

This is a really cool coin and fairly hard to find (based on my trying to find some closed auctions on eBay). In 1954 Francis Henning counterfeited nickels and dated them 1944. He forgot to add the large mintmark on the reverse that was a hallmark of the war era silver content nickels. He was eventually caught, sentenced to 3 years and fined 5K. I really like this piece but it does not fit into my collection and I am trying, really really trying

to focus this year!

Pictures are attached...this look is typical for these...

30.00 postage included...PM me...

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Come on, folks! These are really cool coins and $30 is pretty reasonable! They easily top that on eBay from non-board members!

<< <i> looks real~ >>

Except the fact that there's no mint mark, which makes it pretty easy to spot.
