The US wouldn't release their first coin till 1773, so a 1665 nickel couldn't have existed as a US coin. Furthermore, silver, gold and copper/bronze were the primary materials for making coins, not nickel in the 1600s.

POINT OF FACT:

The United States did not exist in 1773, a coin of this date is a Colonial Issue.

The first coins issued by the authority and for the US were "Fugio Coppers" dated 1787 and were coined in New Haven, Connecticut.
