Newp: Henning Nickel

Robb

Going to shadowbox it with a copy of The Counterfeit 1944 Jefferson Nickel. Should make for a nice display.

I'm a happy man.

sweet lil piece of interesting history there...i like that shadow box with a copy of the book...something to look at and get a quick smile over if ever you need one

looks like it survived its journey in life fine too

here's mine:







notice this does not have the usual "loop in R of PLURIBUS" diagnostic......it does however have a planchet flaw across the letters.....does anyone else's Henning match this?

Those are really nifty....coins. I've always thought it would be fun to own one so viewing both your pictures is quite a treat.

Cool coins posted. I had to look up "Henning Nickel" to know why they were special. I had never heard of them before. I thought you had lost your mind spending money on an obviously well-circulated coin. They're not impressive until you know their history. Pretty neat piece of history,

Always thought of owning one, but too lazy to buy one...maybe one day, one will show up in a roll of nickels.

very nice! i would be happy with a war nickel alone let alone a henning.

Robb

Very nice find, Greg.

Maybe StopMotion will have some information about the planchet. Not something I've seen before.

Nice find... and interesting idea about the display.. Cheers, RickO

Since this thread's creation I have picked up the coin savoyspecial posted and both coins are now framed with their two legit counterparts along with a copy of the booklet.



It looks good on the wall. My wife did a good job with it.

It's hard to tell from the picture but this one looks AU-.

These just don't come nice.
