Best Answer

Canadian nickels minted that year are made of pure nickel, which doesn't rust (rust is oxidation of iron/steel). However, use and exposure can cause it to tarnish.

What would cause a 1941 war nickel to look copper?

To clear things up, 1941 nickels aren't war nickels. The US didn't enter WWII until December of that year, and war nickel production didn't start until 10 months later. All 1941 nickels were struck in the standard alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel, so a copper-colored coin could result from exposure to heat or chemicals. In particular, nickels are often copper-plated in high-school chemistry experiments.
