This is an authentic 1944 Henning Nickel, one of the most infamous and sought-after contemporary varieties in American numismatics. This specific coin features the diagnostic "Looped R" in "Liberty," which is a clear and obvious hallmark of Francis LeRoy Henning’s work.
Most 1944 nickels (AKA: war nickels) would have a large "P," "S," or "D" mint mark above Monticello to signify their silver wartime composition. Henning varieties are famous for lacking this mint mark, but the "Looped R" variety is the most prized by collectors of "black cabinet" or variety curiosities. If you're interested in this, please feel free to make me a reasonable offer. I am a collector looking to sell to another collector, and will entertain all offers within reason.
