Very rare, but maybe not very valuable. Misstrikes are a specialty among coin collectors. Buy or go see at a public library a publication called Coin World. There are ads in the back that will get you started. Most likely you have 1 of 2 pieces used to make a novelty item called a Magician's Coin. These sell regularly on eBay for a couple dollars, but if you just have the one piece I don't think it's worth anything. With so many people asking about coins like this, and no articles in major coin publications (to my knowledge) nor discussions between dealers about them, this has to be some kind of after-mint alteration. To be sure, you can get a free first-hand professional appraisal by ANACS by bringing your coin to any coin show they attend. Their list of shows is here : http://www.anacs.com/shows.html This could be a real error coin. If it is the correct weight (5 gm) it could have entered the press with a second coin which would have only the portrait of Jefferson and a blank reverse. The Redbook does not suggest a value for this type of error. You might try to search eBay to see if anything similar has been offered.
It's a house rather than a monument. Please look directly below the building. It says "MONTICELLO", which is the name of Thomas Jefferson's home.
It's not a nickel. That denomination was first made in 1866. If it looks like a regular Jefferson nickel but is dated 1861 it's either an altered coin or a counterfeit. If it looks like something else it might be a medal or a token.
The 1912 nickel features the profile of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. This design was part of the "Jefferson nickel" series, which was first issued in 1938. However, the 1912 nickel specifically refers to the Liberty Head design, which was used on the five-cent piece before the Jefferson design was introduced. The Liberty Head nickel depicts a classical representation of Liberty rather than Jefferson himself.
The head of a nickel refers to the side of the coin that features the profile of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. This design has been in use since 1938, and it showcases Jefferson in a left-facing portrait. The reverse side of the nickel typically depicts Monticello, Jefferson's plantation in Virginia. The nickel is worth five cents and is composed of a cupronickel alloy.
Priceless. The first Jefferson nickel was dated 1938.

A 1984 nickel with one side stamped with Jefferson and the other side blank is likely a novelty coin created after minting. It does not hold any numismatic value to collectors and is worth face value, which is 5 cents.
