No, not minted before 1850
Yes, it has some % of copper to its weight (majority)

I am confused. The coin should be made from either silver, or primarily copper, not a small %. We have ruled out quarters, dimes, half dollars, dollars, and nickels. Is the coin a penny?

Don't be confused James. 1856-1864 one cent pieces were 88% copper. 1865-1900 95% copper one cent. 1864 to 1872 Two Cent Pieces 95% copper. 1865-1889 Three Cent (nickel) 75% copper. 1866 - 1900 Nickels 75% copper. Greasy Fingers has said the majority of his coins weight is copper. We know it is not a "nickel" five cent piece. Also, the US Mint has never made a "Penny". They have made many billions of cents.

True. Therefore, I don't even need to take back my question because it is an invalid question!
