I've seen them sell for anything in the $10-$30 range, depending on condition. If they can be verified as original (from 1883 as opposed to a modern gold plating), and have a reeded edge, they can be worth significantly more.

What is the value of a 5 dollar gold coin with the Roman numeral V on the back?
It depends on several factors. The age of the piece and condition being the first considerations. Counterfeits are out there. The 1883 Liberty Head Nickel had a "V" on the reverse but was minted without the words "CENTS". A number of them were gold-plated and passed off as $5 gold pieces.MoreThe only US coin with a large Roman numeral V (= 5) on the back was the Liberty Head nickel issued during the first part of 1883, so it's a good bet that's what you have. When crooks started plating the coins and passing them off as "new $5 designs" the Mint quickly added the word CENTS below the V. The revised design was also minted in 1883.The coins quickly became known as "racketeer nickels" and today command a premium. The problem is that long after 1883 other counterfeiters have also plated the coins and tried to pass them off as "original" racketeer nickels. It's one of the few cases where collectors have to be cautious about buying a "fake fake" as opposed to a "genuine fake"!

What is the value of an 1888 gold nickel?
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.

What is a 1883 racketeer nickel worth?
Racketeer nickels are dated 1883. They were created when crooks realized that the new Liberty Head design only had the Roman numeral V (= 5) on the back but not the word CENTS. The coins were almost identical in size to $5 gold pieces so "racketeers" plated them and passed them off as "brand new $5 gold coins". Fortunately the Mint responded by quickly changing the design to add the word CENTS. If your coin is dated 1903 it has CENTS on the back so it's not a Racketeer nickel. It's just an ordinary nickel that was plated for use in jewelry or something similar. Unfortunately that makes it an altered coin with very little value.
