The Buffalo Indian Head Nickel was minted from 1913 to 1938. Most of these coins were made of a copper-nickel alloy, but some were plated in gold as a novelty or for jewelry purposes.

Most of my life, I have never heard of any Buffalo nickels being referred to as 'Bad Luck'. I have actually heard the opposite. In fact there's one buffalo nickel that is said to be 'Lucky' It's the 1926 (encased) which is the outside and is made of brass and the nickel is made of copper and nickel. This coin is said to be Golden in color and has brought 'Good Luck' to whom ever owns one. The values of these coins vary from $20-$50 dollars. My answer to the question is No not at all. in fact they're considered 'Good Luck'

US nickels have never been made of solid copper. All except the famous "war nickels" from 1942-1945 are 25% nickel. Your coin has either been plated or exposed to something that changed its color, which means it has no value to a collector.
