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.

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.

with nickelsearcher. 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.

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.

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.
