I have a piece of the same RG-9/U around somewhere too. It's 100% copper,
no silver plating at all.
As you say, it will work so long as it's kept in an indoor
environment. Unfortunately mine has some signs of weather so I consider it
unusable for duplex transmission lines.
I also have some RG-55/U as well. Its shield appears to be double-shielded
tin-plated copper (not 100% sure due to the age), in which case the same
cautions apply as for RG-9.
