Actually it's not, half dollar & dollars coins are thicker.
I'm not aware of any reports of 1955 cents in a metal other than standard coin bronze. If your coin is attracted to a magnet, you most likely have either a privately-made copy, which has no numismatic value, or an off-metal strike that occurred when a blank intended for a foreign coin was accidentally mixed in with standard bronze planchets. The only way to tell would be to have it examined in person by someone who is knowledgeable about error coins.
Nickel silver is a type of alloy made from copper, nickel, and zinc, but it does not contain any silver. It is not magnetic because none of the metals it is composed of—copper, nickel, and zinc—are magnetic in their pure form.
In the absence of any additional information, a coin typically has more mass than a feather. Coins are typically made of metal, which is denser and has a higher mass compared to the lightweight structure of a feather. However, it is important to note that the specific mass of each object would depend on their individual composition and size.
Cobalt, Nickel, Iron and alloys including any of those metals
No, coal is not magnetic because it does not contain any magnetic materials such as iron or nickel. Magnetism in materials is usually a result of the alignment of magnetic dipoles within the material, which coal lacks.

No. Canada stopped using silver in their 5 cent piece after 1921, and that coin was much smaller than the nickel.
The solvent in a nickel coin is the metal nickel itself, while the solute would be any impurities or other metals present in the alloy. Nickel coins are typically composed of a mixture of nickel, copper, and other metals.
Look at the coin again. The US never made any 5 dollar silver coins of any date.
The term "Uncirculated" means any coin that has not been put into circulation.
To clean a buffalo nickel, gently wipe it with a soft cloth moistened with a small amount of mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasives, as they may damage the coin's surface and reduce its value. It's best to consult with a professional coin dealer before attempting any cleaning.
At any coin shop. Beware though, you aren't going to get much for it, especially if your coin is worn. It isn't a rare coin.
Buffalo nickels* only have the mint mark on the back. You're probably seeing the designer's monogram on the front of the coin. In any case, a 1920-S nickel is worth about $4 in very worn condition. However, values go up steeply from there. In slightly worn condition, this coin might retail for as much as $100. (*) FWIW, the coin is a NICKEL rather than "nickle"
In 1869, the 5 cent coin you are looking at is likely a shield nickel. In which case the coin is a copper-nickel composition (75% copper and 25% nickel). In the same year there was also a half dime, and that was made out of 90% silver and 10% copper. The Shield nickel is the same size and shape as today's nickels, just a different design
The Indian head Buffalo nickel missing a date is usually considered a damaged coin, and its value can be lower than a typical Buffalo nickel. The worth would depend on other factors like condition, mintmark, and any identifiable features on the coin. Consult with a professional coin dealer or appraiser for an accurate assessment.
No. Any cent plated with nickel was altered outside of the mint. That makes it a damaged coin worth 1 cent only.
No, a 5 centavos coin does not contain any silver. It is typically made from a base metal such as copper or nickel.
