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."
Genuine US silver dollars of this date (1803) run from $1,000.00 to more than $10,000.00 depending on condition.

If you found it in change your nickel is only worth face value. US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are made of a copper-nickel alloy, not silver. In fact, no circulating US coins have contained any silver since 1969.
If your coin is a nickel please turn it over. The minting date is 2004, on the front. The date 1803 honors the Lewis and Clark expedition. If it's any other coin, pleas post a new, separate question with its denomination. You can also look for questions like "What is the value of an 1803 US <coin name>?", e.g. "What is the value of an 1803 US large cent?"
That's a silver war nickel, containing 35% silver, and it's worth at least $2.
All US coins minted in 1803 carried a picture of Miss Liberty. Silver coins minted in 1803 included half-dimes, dimes, half-dollars, and dollars. Please make sure your coin is actually from 1803 and doesn't carry that date as part of a commemorative inscription (e.g. the Lewis and Clark commemorative nickel issued in 2004), then check out the Related Questions below for more information.
Copper-nickel, not silver. The only nickels that ever contained any silver were the famous "war nickels" made from 1942 to 1945, when silver replaced nickel metal because nickel was needed for the war effort.
Sorry, the first US nickel was made in 1866 please look at the coin again and post new question.
