Uh, turn the coin over. It was minted in 2004. 1803 is the date of the Louisiana Purchase Plus, it's not silver either. Except for the famous war nickels (1942-45), all US nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel.

According to the US Mint, the image on the back is:

" ... a rendition of the reverse of the original Indian Peace Medal commissioned for Lewis and Clark's expedition, bearing the likeness of America's third president on one side, and symbols of peace and friendship on the other. The medals were presented to Native American chiefs and other important leaders as tokens of goodwill at treaty signings and other events."
