Somebody refresh my memory on what a "Henning nickel" is.

The phrase seems familiar, and yet I'll be danged if I can remember what it is.

francis hennig, the guy that made all the fake 1844 no P nickels (and other dates)

1944

<< 1944

And other year's as well ... but it was the 1944 without the "P" mintmark on the reverse that was the first alert to the authorities.

lordmarcovan · January 4, 2011 11:20AM

Cool. Thanks for the education.

<< Henning dumped another 200,000 nickels in Copper Creek, New Jersey, of which only 14,000 were recovered. Another 200,000 are thought to have been dumped in the Schuylkill River. >>

Sentences like those make the metal detector geek in me perk up and take notice.

Not for sale, but an illustration to show what the little darlings look like:

I did buy it from a board member though.

Thanks SaorAlba!

Another example of a Henning Nickel. NFS. Second reverse, the more rare variety apparently.

mingot · January 28, 2011 7:18AM

Other than the obvious missing mintmark, are there any other diagnostics? Have you weighed it?

coindudeonebay · January 28, 2011 7:34AM

Not sure, my scale only does whole grams not tenths so I can't help you there.

MWallace · January 28, 2011 8:44AM

Here's a 1939 Henning's Nickel. (Sorry for the bad photo) Sorry but it's not for sale.

Does anyone have (or has anyone ever seen) a higher grade example of one of these? The few that I've come across over the years have all been lower grade examples like those shown in this thread. I'd love to see what a "Henning Mint State" coin looks like.
