I'm not sure what "acid test" you are doing in your basement but your nickel is made out of nickel and now that it has been subjected to acid, its collectible value has been compromised. If you weigh it you'll see it's pretty close to 5 grams and original. We buy these for 10-15 cents and sell them for 20-25 cents at shows.

Looks to me like a damaged coin. I can’t ascribe much value to it.
