It's not gold, just gold-plated. The gold itself is so thin that it would cost more to remove than you could get by selling it, so the coin is just a curiosity worth only 5 cents.
If you think about it for a minute, with gold at $1100 to $1200 an ounce, a nickel's worth would be so tiny that you'd need tweezers and a magnifying glass to see it!
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.
There's never been a gold nickel. Your coin is either plated or was affected by exposure to heat or chemicals. Either way, it has no added value.
A 2004 nickel is worth 5 cents. A gold-plated '04 nickel is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. There is no standard market value for modified coins like that.
Gold plating a coin only changes its value because of the amount of gold on it which is usually very little. It is of no numismatic value to U.S. coin collectors because it is an altered coin.
Gold-plated but not gold. It's an ordinary nickel that someone plated for use in jewelry or as a novelty piece. The US never minted nickels (or dimes or quarters for that matter) out of gold - it's worth far too much to use in small-denomination coins.
It's a 2004 Jefferson nickel that has been gold plated, has no collectible value and is just a fancy nickel.

Five cents. The gold plating someone put on a regular nickel destroyed any collector's value it had.

Assuming you have a gold-colored "Loonie" coin, it's only worth face value. Like the Sacagawea and Presidential dollars in this country, it's not made of gold. 1990 Loonies are made of nickel plated with a gold-colored brass alloy.
Five cents.

There were no Sacajawea gold dollars minted in 1990.
Sorry, but nickels were never made of gold.
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. And for buffalo nickels, gold or blue toning means it's been chemically cleaned at some point. Unfortunately it's just a nickel.
Gold-plated, not real gold. That makes it an altered coin with no real value to a collector.
