I would bet money that either your coin has been copper plated, or its been exposed to something that has caused a chemical reaction and changed the color of it.
In either case, it will be worth less than a dollar.
AnswerI have been looking through my dad's coins and I also found what looks like a 1936 copper Indian head nickel. I wonder????? AnswerAny reasonably smart high-school chemistry student can copper-plate a coin using a battery and some copper sulfate solution. I know, I did it myself many years ago (mea culpa!)Standard five-cent pieces were not made out of copper in 1946. Your piece could be one of 2 things: 1 - most likely it was plated by someone as a chemistry experiment. If its weight is the same as a standard nickel, that's a giveaway. In that case it's considered altered or damaged and is only worth face value. 2 - it was struck on a blank intended for another coin, such as a U.S. cent or foreign coin. In that case its weight and/or diameter may be a bit different. You'd need to have the coin examined by an expert to tell.
A 1946 Jefferson Nickel in very fine condition (VF20) is worth: 25 cents; if its mint state is MS60, the value rises to: 70 cents.

Five cents. It's either plated or been exposed to something like heat that changed its color.

Canadian coins aren't usable in the US. A Canadian nickel isn't worth anything in the US. IN Canada, the 2004 nickel is worth .05 cents. However, if you can sneak it into your change one day, you'll get .05 cents worth of stuff.
