The U.S. has never made half nickels. In fact the nickel denomination wasn't issued until 1866.

Before that there were half DIMES, under an old system that was originally supposed to be based on tens instead of hundreds. E.g. a price might be given as 3 dollars, 5 dimes, and 8 cents instead of $3.58.

However, there were no half-dimes made in 1810, so please check again and post a new question with more details that might help ID what you have.

The answer is a nickel and a 50 cent piece (half dollar). The question states that *one* of them is not a nickel, but the other coin may be a nickel. In fact, this is the only answer. One is a half dollar and the other is the nickel. This way, one is not the nickel, the other is the nickel.

How do you get 55 cents from 2 coins if 1 can't be a nickel?

There are 2 ways of answering it, first is this is usually some form of a "trick question" where the answer is, "a half dollar and a nickel, because the half isn't a nickel". However, a more technical answer would be that you would have one half dollar and one half-dime (half dimes were minted from 1792-1873, they were small 90% silver coins half the weight of a dime, the nickel is much larger and started being minted in 1866 and is 75% copper and 25% nickel)
