No nickel has ever been made of gold. You may have one that has been plated or it may be toned a gold color. Either way it's bad. Gold plating kills the collectible value of any coin.

It's actually called a Bison Reverse. The plating was NOT done by the U.S. Mint and it has no collectible value. It's just a nickel.
The Buffalo Indian Head Nickel was minted from 1913 to 1938. Most of these coins were made of a copper-nickel alloy, but some were plated in gold as a novelty or for jewelry purposes. If your 1918 Buffalo Nickel is gold in color, it is likely plated and not made of pure gold. The gold plating does not add significant value to the coin for collectors.

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.
