Best Answer

As the U.S. did not mint nickels in 1859, I assume you're referring to a copper-nickel cent.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 03/2009:

Very worn condition - $13

Moderately worn - $27

Slightly worn - $40

Almost no wear - $105

The composition stated wasn't used for US cents and in any case doesn't add to 100%. All genuine 1865 US cents were struck in bronze (95% copper/5% tin and zinc) while the composition of the 1859-1864 cupronickel series was 88% copper and 12% nickel. Your coin should be evaluated in person by an expert who has the necessary equipment to determine its composition.
