The only five-cent coin that the U.S. issued in 1802 was called a half-dime. The nickel coins we have now weren't struck until 1866.

If you have a half-dime you should get it authenticated by a dealer because half-dimes from that period can be quite valuable.

On the other hand, if you have a nickel-sized coin with a pair of hands below the date of 1803 (not 1802, but it's small and hard to read), turn it over very carefully and look to the right of Tom J.'s portrait. You'll see the date 2004, which is the year when these commemorative nickels were issued to mark the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
