That nickel is made of 75% copper and 25% nickel. I believe they are thinking about making a copper one. Because of the cost. I’m 100% not sure if that helps.....

The plating has wore off,Due to being dug out of ground or woodchips in playground.

There is no plating on nickels, they are an alloy. They normally change to a copper color when exposed to the elements. The one posted looks like a typical metal detected nickel.

Same result as what I said, still just a 5 cent nickel.
