No Buffalo nickels were struck in silver, only the Jefferson "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 have any silver in them.
....none. All nickels with the exception of the ones minted during WWII (the ones dated 1942-1945 with the large mintmark over the Monticello contain 35% silver) are 75% copper, 25% nickel. There are no silver buffalo nickels.
All U.S. quarters dated 1964 or earlier contain 90% silver and 10% copper.
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!)
The Marshall co. bought the Swartchild co. Inc.. Later the LaRose Co. bought Marshall. LaRose 336-621-1936 and ask for Rick Dunnuck.
