It's an ordinary circulation nickel from the Westward Journey series, issued in 2004-2006 to commemorate the Lewis and Clark expedition. Hundreds of millions were struck so they're not rare. If you found it in change it's only worth five cents. Uncirculated or proof-condition ones might retail for $1 to $4 depending on how nicely struck the images are. A lot of people see the 1803 date on the back and mistakenly think that's the year it was minted. That's the year that President Jefferson signed the Louisiana Purchase agreement. If anyone tells you they've found a new-looking "1803 nickel" ask them if they turned it over and checked the date on the other side!

BeauNot rare. Billions were minted. Millions were saved in rolls directly from the banks or sold by the Mint to collectors, so even the uncirculated examples are cheap and circulated ones will not sell for a premium in our lifetimes.
They are fairly common and only are worth 5 cents unless in a mint set.
unless this coin is owned by anyonne with the last name Ochoa it is nott rare, but if you do have the last name Ochoa it is the rariest coin ever
It doesn't matter, they were not done by the mint. They are not rare, anyone can damage a coin by gold plating them. Collectors view them as post-mint-damage, the amount of gold on there is so small it would cost more to remove it than the gold was worth. Essentially it is worth 25 cents.
