Please post a new and more specific question.
The US didn't mint nickels until 1866 and the first coins to be struck in a copper-nickel alloy were Flying Eagle cents in 1856.
Cupronickel or copper-nickel or "cupernickel" is an alloy of copper that contains nickel and strengthening elements, such as iron and manganese.
Nickel cannot replace copper in copper II sulfate because nickel is higher in the electromotive series than copper.
No - copper is a better conductor than nickel.
copper has more protons than nickel
Copper itself is one of the elements. It contains nothing but copper. It might be alloyed with nickel sometimes, but that would not always be the case.You may be thinking of the fact that nickel was sometimes found mixed in with copper ore. Its hardness compared to that of copper caused such problems for miners in Saxony that they called it "Kupfernickel", a German word that translates roughly as "Devil's copper". Eventually the "Kupfer" prefix was dropped, giving us the word we use today.
Please rephrase question.
The coin is 75% copper and 25% nickel, so the coin is likely face value the date is still in circulation.
If you have a US nickel, it is either coated with copper or has changed color due to exposure to some chemical and has no special value. If it is a 1942 Canadian nickel, it varies from $.40 to $1.75 in circulated conditions, $3 and up in uncirculated grades. The material is called "tombac" and is an alloy of copper and zinc.
A nickel with copper infused is still worth 5 cents, as the metal composition of the coin is what determines its value. The added copper may change the appearance of the coin but not its monetary worth.
I have a silver dollar of 1853 I think it is copper or bronze that was in circulation for wear, someone could help me know how much it cost? Thank you. my e-mail is superkin74@hotmail.com
All nickels except "war nickels" from 1942-45 are made of copper-nickel, not silver. What you have is an ordinary coin worth 5 cents.
No matter what denomination it is, if found in circulation it's face value.
The first 5-cent US nickel was made in 1866, the 3-cent nickel in 1865, and the copper-nickel flying eagle 1-cent in 1856.
Copper-nickel. If circulated, it has no particular special value.
No, nickel silver and sterling silver are not the same value. Sterling silver is a precious metal composed of 92.5% silver, while nickel silver is an alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc that does not contain any silver. Sterling silver is typically more valuable than nickel silver.
The melt value of something is the value of the metal itself. For example, a 1964 nickel has a melt value of 5 cents because 1.8 cents worth of nickel and 2.7 cents of copper.
All US nickels (except for silver war nickels) are 75% copper and 25% nickel, with a present melt value of 4.9 cents.
