The US never made a gold nickel. The coin is plated. Gold is too valuable for low-denomination coins. Even in 1888 its price was high enough that 5¢ worth would be so tiny you'd need tweezers to pick it up.
If the date is definitely 1888 and not 1883, the coin has no added value. If its date is actually 1883 and it only has a large Roman numeral V on the back without the word "cents" underneath, you should have it examined by a dealer. It could be a so-called racketeer nickel that's a regular 1883 nickel altered to fool people into thinking it was a $5 gold piece. However racketeer nickels have themselves been counterfeited so you need to get a professional, in-person evaluation.

Sorry no gold five cent coins were made.Some 1883 nickels were plated with gold. These were called "racketeer" nickels because they were used by criminals who passed them as $5 gold pieces. Because of their history there is a collectors' market for plated nickels with that date.A plated nickel with any other date is considered to be an altered coin with no extra value.

All the letters $65.00 I suggest showing it to a couple of collectors or dealers for a better idea of the value
