Best Answer

The nickel's reverse side was changed to honor the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition, which was authorized by the Jefferson Administration.

However only 2004 and 2005 nickels have different designs, not 2003 nickels. Political wrangling over which images would be used prevented changing the 2003 coins, and forced the Mint to use the then-current picture of Jefferson on the front of 2004 coins rather than one of the newer portraits used the following years.

What is the value of a 2003 special nickel?

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.

Liberty nickels were minted from 1883 to 1912. All nickels minted since 1938 have been Jefferson nickels, and ALL coins carry the word Liberty. In any case huge numbers of 2005 nickels were saved because they have a special design for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial, and any that you find in change are only worth face value.
