Thanks for the link to the article on Henning nickels. Since the images in the article are dark, I can't quite make out the difference between looped and no-looped R - can you describe the difference between the two?
I have two '44 Henning nickels that I've had for many years and can't remember how I came to own them. Based on the image someone posted that showed a good picture of the non-looped variety, I know that matches with one of mine. My other nickel has a triagular pit between the 'U' and 'R' so I can't tell which type it is.
Also, to answer a question posed nine years ago ( ), I have a 1944 that is in AU or so condition based on the original surfaces. (Sorry, I don't have it handy to take a photo). I think DCarr has one in MS condition.

I think the dies were made from worn coins and that high grade examples likely never existed.

Paying 400 each for them!
can't figure out how to modify my original post, though ....
Not the best photo, but just posting as a teaser.
Are you ready to sell it to me
It's a double teaser for me - the photos don't appear on my device.

I don't think I'm ready to sell yet.

Missed this post from the start.
Have had this 1944 in my collection since, well, 1991!
I just got my coins back from ICG about an hour ago. I sent 2 coins in to be Graded. The 1944 Hening nickel and a 1900 0/CC Morgan dollar.
