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.
Gold-plated, not real gold. That makes it an altered coin with no real value to a collector.

No. The US did not make any gold coins for circulation after 1933. There are no gold nickels.
Gold-plated, but not gold. All circulating Eisenhower dollars were struck in copper-nickel, so the gold-plating doesn't add anything to its $1 value.
It's been plated outside of the mint, or subjected to a chemical treatment to change its color. If plated, the coin may have been used in jewelry or sold as a so-called "collectible" at an inflated price. It has no extra numismatic value.

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

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.

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.
5 cents. Gold plating adds a very thin layer of gold on the coin, it hardly increases the coin's value. The 2005 buffalo nickels were intended for circulation and only worth 5 cents unless uncirculated or proof, but since your coin has been damaged due to gold plating, even if it was uncirculated or proof it is now just worth 5 cents.
