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.

What is the value of a Monticello nickel with no date that is double struck?

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.

What is a new circulated nickel worth with the buffalo on one side but half of the other side is blank?

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

What is the value of a 2003 nickel with Washington on both sides?

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.
