Coin and Paper Money Collecting/Copper Nickel Value

Question
I came across a 2003 copper nickel and want to know if this is possible and if it is how much it worth. I did not want to clean it yet, should I?
Thank you for your response.

Answer
Definitely do not clean it.

The coin has to be inspected, weighed and graded by a professional to arrive at a value.

Find a local dealer, or contact Numismatic Guarantee Corporation and for a fee, they will provide that service although they will not place a value on it.  However, you will have all the information you need to research the current value.
