Whats it WORTH ?

Hello Guys,
I have enjoyed everybodies imput on various subjects.
I came across a "strange" item a month ago, and I hope maybe someone can comment or help lead me to the right direction. I was doing my regular monthly Bill paying in town, when a cashregister worker handed me a 5 cent nickel . We both looked at it and realized that it was made totally of "COPPER" and minted in the U.S. in 1970. Is this a rare coin or something ??
I checked it out, it is totally Copper with normal ware for the past 34 years.

Have any Ideas folks, Thanks for taking my Off Topic question .. I look forward to yalls responces.

It could be a nickel struck on a penny planchet or simply a regular nickel that's been plated. It could, in rare cases, be a foreign coin blank that got mixed in with U.S. nickel blanks. If you could get it to a coin shop, or some jewelers can do this, have it weighed against a penny and a nickel. That's usually the easiest way to decide.

Plated, it's worth 5 cents, struck on a penny blank maybe a few dollars, struck on a foreign blank and you have to find someone who wants a circulated mistrike.

This may help out a bit. http://apps.heritagecoin.com/info/typevalues.php?type=coinsite-coinworth-plg040502a

Bill sounds like you got a coin
that was craftily restruck by someone other than at the US mint and is probably a forgery.
No 1970 nickels were struck in
copper. sorry.
