    All nickels are 75% copper (except the silver war nickels). That is what you have.

    Nickels are not clad - none of them. The alloy is 75% copper and 25% nickel throughout the coin. If you weigh it, I will bet you get about 4.9 grams - indicating it is the proper alloy and thickness. The color you see is just contamination.

    Nickels when exposed to the elements often tone a copper color. I have found many of them metal detecting that show this coloration.
