The coin is probably of copper nickel composition which would place it between 1859-1864. The coin shows bright rim and high points. It is much thicker than the other Indian cents I have. It is comparable to a nickel in thickness. Has anyone encountered this issue? Enclosed are pics.

It is indeed a CN cent with severe environmental damage. Whatever the date, it has essentially no value.

Looks like it's been buried for 100 years.
No value but you can keep it as a conversation piece.
