 To CCF! Your coin is suffering from environmental damage. Just a spender.
Errers and Varietys.

Work on your pic quality for future posts.. Strong copper composition? Nickels are indeed 75% copper & 25% nickel but, that wouldn't make a difference here. Your coin has extreme environmental exposure/ damage, as noted above.

Technically you are correct, since a nickel composition consists of 75% copper.
But I agree with the others that this is a badly environmentally damaged coin.

Should I clean this coin?

It'll be worth 5 cents whether you clean it or not, but maybe it'll be easier to spend.

Quote: Should I clean this coin? It would be a good coin to practice/experiment with, as it has no apparent value above 5 cents.
