Sandon Posted Tuesday at 03:05 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:05 PM Welcome to the NGC chat board. Clearer full images of each side of the coin could be helpful. Based on the current images, the damage or flaw at the letter "B" does not resemble that on the counterfeit 1953 nickels made by Francis Henning. See Henning Nickel (error-ref.com).

powermad5000 Posted Tuesday at 06:59 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:59 PM Hello and welcome to the forum! The evident die marker on the 1953 Henning nickel is a hole in the R of PLURIBUS. Your coin does not have that hole in the R. Being these are well documented and researched, this missing die marker disqualifies your nickel from being a 1953 Henning nickel. If you are referring to the "loopy" connection between the I and B in PURIBUS, I see a hit that crosses those two letters and pushed some of the metal to make it look like that. In my humble opinion, you have a typical well circulated 1953 nickel. Henri Charriere and Ro mega 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
