"Don't take any wooden nickels." "Not one red cent" "Doesn't have two nickels to rub together." "My two cents worth."

75% copper, 25% nickel, just like all Jefferson nickels (except silver war nickels).
None of those numbers would surprise me much. Btw, what is this "turmoil" you referenced in a previous message?

Weight is a couple grams light. I'd say replica as well.
