A little under $2.

Mintage of the 1943-P Jefferson nickel is 271,165,000.
A "P" on a 1943 nickel indicates that the coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This was a notable year for nickels due to the use of a different alloy during World War II, specifically the wartime 35% silver composition. The 1943 nickel is often sought after by collectors, especially the versions minted with the "P" mintmark.
To clear things up, that would be WHITE HOUSE rather than WHITEHOUSE . . . except that as the name under the building shows, it's actually MONTICELLO, Thomas Jefferson's home. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1943 US nickel?" for more information.
That is what is known as a war nickel, because nickel was needed for WWII, it was needed to change the composition of the nickel to one including 35% silver, as of the time of writing, your coin is worth $1.64 in silver content alone.
