The same nickel alloy that is used today. 75% copper, 25% nickel. In fact, the nickel still has the composition that original nickels had back in 1866 when the first nickels were struck. The only change to the nickel is during WWII on nickels dated 1941-1945 with a large mintmark over the Monticello, those nickels are 56% copper, 35% copper, and 9% manganese.
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.
