There are very few that are actually copper. Post some photos. Most copper colored looking nickels are environmentally damaged. And some, have been incorrectly annealed, they are cooked a little longer and pick up some color.</p><p>The ones that are actually copper are very rare and they will not be the same size and weight as a regular nickel (5.0 grams). Weigh your coin. If it weighs 5 grams, it&#039;s not copper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
