Very nice. Is that an “S” I am seeing?

No sir.  This is a Francis Henning Special. Had he known as much about nickels as you, he would have never had gotten "pinched"

I looked for the void in the R and didn’t think I saw it. Pareidolia on my part with the S. I’m not quite up to speed on my Henning nickels. Is the R marker there?

This one doesn't have the "looped" R (not all did).  The marker on this (besides the missing Mint Mark) is the little "flair" that comes off the corner of Monticello.

Thats cool. Haven't dove into Hennings. I have my hands full with the regular nickels. Cool piece though.

Just curious, what does it weigh? 

[Coinbuf]

Cool Henning nickel.  

[The Neophyte Numismatist]

5.36 grams, pretty heavy.

It seems to match the characteristics for a Henning.

So this one appears to be a:

• TD2 - Raised dot between D and W in "God We"
  • Overweight plachet 
• TDB - Raised dot above the left side of Monticello; perfect R

Thanks @Oldhoopster.  You always have great, insightful posts.
