Alex1 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Today 1H 20M ago I am new here. Joined to get some answers on a copper 1935 Buffalo nickel I found in an old bank roll. Does this actually exist? It is bright and shiny copper. Edited by Alex1 Today 1H 18M ago Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15829 Posts	Posted Today 50M ago to the CCF I doubt that the coin is actually copper, most likely environmental toning has changed the surface color. Can you provide an accurate weight in grams to 2 decimal places? That would give us the answer. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

I've found lots of British cupro-nickel coins, of similar composition to US nickels, with my metal detector, and it's quite common for them to have gone reddish-brown in color.

Alex1 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Today 37M ago All I have is a kitchen scale and it says 5 grams, same as an original Buffalo nickel. Same size also. The reason I ask, is that it's bright and shiny copper all over. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Alex1 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Today 33M ago Okay, so nothing special? Just wanted to clarify, since not really finding anything that looked like it online. I have seen posts saying reddish, brown or brown, but since this was a shiny copper coin, thought to ask professionals. Thanks to all for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2886 Posts	Posted Today 25M ago I'm in the environmental toning camp but there are examples of Buffalo's struck on copper planchets that are scarce, here's an example of a 1920 which weighs 4.96 grams. https://mikebyers.com/copperbuffalo.html Report this Post to the Staff
Alex1 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Today 6M ago I read something about that. That's what made me come to this forum to see what others might think. Thank you for all your help. Report this Post to the Staff
