Before wondering about what it is worth, you should take it to a coin shop and see if it is a true mint error or is it a coin someone has sanded one side off.
All 2003 US nickels carry the standard portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the front and an image of his home, Monticello, on the back. None are special and none have any extra value in circulated condition. 2004 and 2005 nickels carry different designs in honor of the Lewis and Clark bicentennial, but again any that you find in change have no extra worth.
Please turn the coin over and check the denomination on the back. You'll find that it's a HALF dollar. Assuming it's from circulation, it's not silver. It's made of copper-nickel like dimes and quarters, and is only worth face value.
Millions are in circulation, just spend it.
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.
Please look at your pocket change more carefully. You'll find quarters dating back to 1965, the first year that copper-nickel clad coins were introduced. They're all very common and all worth exactly 25 cents.
If you got it in change, 5 cents.
A 2005 US nickel that has Ocean in View on the back is an ordinary coin from the Westward Journey series. If you found it in change it has no added value. A nice uncirculated one might retail for 50 to 75 cents.
What you're seeing is "FS" which is the monogram of Felix Schlag, who designed the back of the nickel as well as the portrait of Jefferson used from 1938 to 2004. Please check the Related Question for more details.
A nickel's value is not voided due to worn surface. It should still be worth 5 cents.
The obverse side of the 2005 Liberty nickel is stamped with a profile of President Jefferson on the left side, the words, "In God We Trust", the handwritten cursive word, "Liberty", and the year, "2005".
All 2002 nickels have a picture of Monticello on the back. The only Jefferson nickels to carry an image of a buffalo (actually a bison) were dated 2005 and they're only worth face value if you find them in change.
There's never been a wheat-back nickel. All 1988 Jefferson nickels have the familiar picture of his home, Monticello.Wheat-back cents were minted from 1909 to 1958.
That's a silver war nickel, containing 35% silver, and it's worth at least $2.
The back of ALL U.S. coins is upside-down in relation to the front. Your 2004 nickel is worth 5 cents.
It's not rare, millions are still in circulation today, just spend it.
The value of a nickel with a colored back can vary greatly depending on the color, condition, and rarity of the coin. In general, a colored nickel would typically not have a significant premium value over a regular nickel, unless it is a genuine mint error or a rare collectible.
