Famed 1944 Henning Counterfeit Nickel

Fine-12. In the mid-1950s, Francis LeRoy Henning of Erial, New Jersey, minted what is now known as the "Henning� Nickel. He made counterfeit nickels dated 1939, 1944, 1946, 1947 and 1953. The 1944 nickels were quickly spotted since Henning neglected to add the large Mint Mark. Rare, and a must-have for any Jefferson nickel enthusiast.
