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.
