I have asked dozens of people.

The first answer is no. They are not .999 silver or they would have been marked as such on the coin.

Next, what is the silver content?

I have asked coin dealers. I have receivd answers from 65% to 90% silver.

That makes the worst case scenario for melting the coins to be 65% of current silver prices. $29.00 per ounce or calculated to $18.80 per oz. for 65%. The troy pound contains 12 ounces not 16. That makes the melted value of these coins at just over $100 each. That is the worst case. You can buy them on Ebay for under $100. Buy several to melt down or to save for future Nascar fans that want to commemerate Dale Earnhardt.

Is the Hamilton Collection one pound Jeff Gordon proof 999 silver?

Proof coins can be struck in any metal. If the coin is made from silver or any other precious metal, it will say so on the packaging it came in and, it will probably state the purity and weight on the coin. Alternatively, if the coin is made from a base metal, it may be silver plated. This should also be stated on the packaging.

How do coin collection companies figure gold plated coins are worth 79.00 or 95.00?

Any reputable coin dealer will tell you that gold plated coins are worthless to a collector and they are damaged. However, often gold plated coins are sold (often deceptively) to buyers via TV or internet marketing. There are only a handful of gold plated coins created by legitimate government mints that are collectible (this is the same for "colorized" coins) but the US mint has not made any of them. A gold plated US coin is damaged and generally only worth face value (or silver scrap value in the case of older coins).

Why were some 1999 nickels gold plated?

This was not done by the U.S. Mint. These coins were plated by private companies for to be sold for profit as collector pieces. Their value is limited to the worth of the metals use to make them plus whatever premium a person may be willing to pay to own them. For a collector of U.S. Mint coins they are considered altered and have no place in such a collection.
