There were many variations and varieties of these coins. For example, during the first six years (1859 to 1864) Indian Head cents were made of 88% copper and 12% nickel, resulting in a slightly less coppery red-brown color. During the civil war many of cents were hoarded and disappeared from circulation. These copper-nickel Indian pennies were also called "nickels" or "nicks" at that time. This was before nickel 5 cent pieces were produced. When five cent nickel coin production began (in 1866) people started calling five cent coins nickels and the Indian cents lost that as their nick name.
