It has the same design as other Jefferson nickels minted from 1938 to 2003, except that the mint mark was made larger and placed above the dome of Monticello on the coin's reverse. In addition, a "P" mint mark was used for Philadelphia coins. This was the first time a P had appeared on any US coin; its use was resumed until 1979/1980. War nickels were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. When new the coins looked almost like their cupronickel counterparts, but as they tarnished the manganese tended to turn gray. They were also softer than cupronickel coins so they wore more quickly.

The spelling of the 5-cent coin is nickel, named for the metal it was made from.
Nickel is a metallic and silver-ish color, just like the US coin, the nickel (worth 5 cents).
pure nickel coins will stick to a magnet like canadian nickels also if you have a nickel coin with some other alloy lets say copper and an aluminum coin usually aluminum coins are really much lighter in weight also aluminum coins are extremely light weight

Its dug out of the ground like coal, they have nickel minds all over the world.
It's not a nickel. That denomination was first made in 1866. If it looks like a regular Jefferson nickel but is dated 1861 it's either an altered coin or a counterfeit. If it looks like something else it might be a medal or a token.
It is solid at standard temperatures and pressures.
It sounds like you have a Liberty Head nickel. If that is what you have, then you have one of the rarest and most valuable dates in the Liberty Head Nickel series. In the condition you describe, its value would currently be about $200.00 Nice find!
Check for rare or error nickels, such as the 1913 Liberty Head or 1937-D 3-legged Buffalo nickel. Look for high-quality, uncirculated coins or those with mint errors like double-die strikes. It's also worth examining the coin's condition and rarity, as these factors can significantly affect its value.
The coin you have described sounds like a novelity coin and has no value other than the materials it is made from.
It most likely is gold plated, gold plating adds really no value to the coin and like any other 1999 nickel, it is worth 5 cents.
