[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 4951121, member: 78298"]If it was plated, that won't increase the weight. Because the plating is incredibly thin. All nickels weigh 5.0 grams. While nickels are 75% copper and 25% nickel, those metals are melted together which gives it a white appearance. For the nickel to be copper, it would have to be struck on an old style copper penny blank, (1982 or before). And then, your nickel would be the size of a penny, with incomplete rims, and weigh 3.1 grams.[/QUOTE]
