That nickel is not normally gold in color. So either it has been gold plated, or it has been exposed to contaminants that changed its color.
1936 is also considered a common date for buffalo nickels.
Put that together and you come up with a value of about 25 cents for your coin.

∙ 9y agoGold-plated, but not gold. No gold coins were struck for circulation after 1933 and there were never any gold nickels.
It's almost certainly a standard cupronickel coin that was plated for use in jewelry or sold as a so-called "instant collectible". Unfortunately the gold plating would cost more than its melt value to remove, and it destroyed any numismatic value the coin may have. However it could still be used in jewelry or as a nice conversation piece.

The Indian head on your 1936 nickel is 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.

Is a buffalo nickel date unknown with a rectangular engraving of 14k on the buffalo and a plain 14k on the Indian worth anything?
Unless this nickel is made of gold, those markings are totally bogus. My only thought is that someone was playing with a set of jeweler's punches and tried them out on your nickel. In that case, you have a damaged coin worth face value.
