It's a trick or magic coin an has little or no value.
The coin's design is intended to honor Jefferson (after all, his face is on the front of the coin) so his famous house was chosen to complement his image.
Quarters have Washingtonon them. Jefferson is on the nickel, both face the left.
It's a novelty item called a magician's coin. They're made by cutting apart 2 genuine nickels and swapping the sides. You can buy one for a few dollars in a gift shop but they have no numismatic value.
If it is a Mint error it may be worth a few dollars, take it to a coin dealer to see if it has any value.MoreIt's called a Jefferson nickel rather than a Monticello nickel. If by "double struck" you mean that Monticello is on both sides (which would account for the lack of a date) what you have is a novelty item called a magician's coin. There's more information at the question "What is a double headed nickel worth?"

Yes itβs a 1943 Jefferson Nickel silver with the capital ( P) over the monticello building . It. Has a slight discoloration on both sides and along the outside cercomphrance it has a couple of very small dingβs . All letters and numbers and face and back appears to be in good condition
The obverse design for that nickel has a different portrait of Thomas Jefferson, with him in profile and only on the left half of the coin. See : http://usmint.gov/mint_programs/index.cfm?action=nickel_series Perhaps this is the nickel you have? If so, this is normal and has no added value. If what you have is different than this, then send me pictures of both sides of the coin, and I will try to evaluate it for you. Dan Moore Working.Man@usa.net
It would be a quarter an a nickel. The question said one of the coins is not a nickel, not both.
If it's not a Indian head nickel, what is it? What does the coin show on both sides of it. Post new question and include any inscriptions.
First off, a 2003 nickel doesn't have anything to do with Washington — either the city, the state, or the founding father — on it. You're probably thinking of Thomas Jefferson, who is found on the face of all nickels made since the mid-1930's. Having said that, it's quite likely that you have a two-headed novelty coin, made from two real nickels after both left the Mint. These have no numismatic value.
Both sides - both should love both sides unconditionally
