So this is the first year for that style nickel. Some guy started coating them with gold and passing them off as five dollar gold pieces. They added the word "cents" on the back halfway through the year. Yours is the more common variety. Also it's a replica with gold plating. As such it's really just a novelty worth a couple bucks.
