There's a 1904 leather bound Webster's English dictionary that's listed for $100 @ etsy:

It's possible your edition is a special edition and may not be found very easily.
Your inside page is not clear enough to read details but it looks like 1901 and not 1903. Is this correct or is there another page showing a different date?

You may be able to join a site like Reddit and ask your question. These sites have very knowledgeable members and if they cannot help you they will usually refer you to another site for help.
But they may need more pictures; any page that has information about publishers should be very clear and pictures of the condition also. They do not always provide 'value' but may be able to tell you if you need to have it appraised.
There are a lot of online free appraisal sites if you're interested in going that way.

Everything is absolutely correct, you have Webster's American Dictionary of English language from 1903.

I found the same Webster's Dictionary 1903 with the same looking first page:

You don't have the first edition of the American Dictionary of the English Language. The first edition of the American Dictionary of the English Language was published by S. Converse in two quarto volumes in 1828, when Noah Webster was 70.

The price of the 1900 American Dictionary of the English language by Noah Webster is EUR 150 / Approximately US $158.75 www.ebay.com/.../154475200223

I think the price of the 1903 American Dictionary of the English language by Noah Webster is about $115.
