Looks to me like a modern cast bullet. Flat nose and very little indication of your typical age patina. Being alloyed with tin would explain the lack of age or patina as well.

It is definitely a modern-era "Lyman Mold" reproduction of a civil war era Minie-bullet. Still being manufactured and sold today. Go to the Ol' Buffalo Bullet Molds sales webpage at the following link, and scroll down to bullet #575213 to see the exact version of reproduction Minie-bullet you found.
