    Bump

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

    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.

    Thanks!

    9 year bump :)

    So I got a '47, no longer looking for 44.

    Just need 1939, 1946, and 1953,

    Paying 400 each for them!

    can't figure out how to modify my original post, though ....

    It's a double teaser for me - the photos don't appear on my device. :D

    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 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.

    Good luck finding a MS Henning. He used circulated nickels to.
    make the molds and he thought this might prevent him from getting sent back to jail. Choosing the 1944 nickel and leaving the P off the mold is what led to him being caught.

    I can't believe the prices these are now bringing. Even the very common 1944's

    Same! I learned about them recently and was very interested in getting one since I am close to where Henning was from, so thought it would be neat to own. But not so neat at these prices, to me, anyway.

    I'm a Jersey guy, too. Apparently, they never found a good many of them when old Henning through them in the river.
    Have any dive gear? 😆

    This is my copy of Dwight H. Stuckey's "THE COUNTERFEIT 1944 JEFFERSON NICKEL" book. A great addition to my small 1944 Henning nickel collection.

    I bought this book over a year ago from a member. Love the book and the story. I check each year that he made a nickel when I CRH nickels. However, I have found NADA. So, the Henning nickels I have, have all been purchased.
