US nickels have never been made of solid copper. Except for the famous "war nickels" issued from 1942-1945, the coin has always been made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
If it appears to be copper it was probably either plated or suffered discoloration from exposure to heat or chemicals.

Nickels are not struck in pure copper and they are not silver-plated. They're made of a solid alloy composed of nickel and copper.

In any case it won't have any numismatic worth except for its face value. Another answer: The 1985 Jefferson Nickel coin error is a pretty unique one.
