First make sure your coin really is upside down. All US coins have their reverse side oriented 180º to the front, so the words FIVE CENTS should be near the same point on the back rim of the coin as the top of the Chief's head on the front. If they aren't 180º apart you could have what's called a rotated-die error. These can be moderately valuable but you would need to have your coin inspected in person by someone who deals with error coins. If the coin has the normal orientation found on standard US coins it's worth the same as all other 1935 nickels. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1935 US nickel?" for more information.
You need to add the year. An S mintmark tells us nothing.
The "f" is not a mintmark but rather an initial. With out a date it is impossible to tell the value of your coin. Most buffalo or Indian head nickels aren't worth much. Post a new question and structure it like this to ensure an answer- "What is the value of a <date> US nickel" or " What is a <date> US nickel worth".
