Yes, it is. Canadian Coins are struck as what's called "Medal Turned" meaning both sides of the coins are right side up turning the coin left to right. Our US Coins are "Coin Turned" and are opposite. One side is upside down.

What is the value of an 1890 US Morgan silver dollar with eagle upside down?

First you must determine if the reverse is upside down. All US coins are struck as "coin turned" meaning the reverse is upside down from the obverse. lay the coin flat on a table with the obverse up, turn it from left to right. If the eagle is upside down this is normal. If it's not, you have whats called a "Rotated Die" error that must be seen for an assessment of value. In general, the 1890 Philadelphia issued Morgan (no mintmark) is considered common. Circulated coins run from $30.00-$40.00 depending on the grade of the coin.
