Best Answer

The first thing to do is make sure your coin is actually upside-down by comparing it to other nickels in your pocket. ALL US coins have their reverse side oriented 180º to the front; i.e. the back will be inverted if you flip the coin from side to side like a book page.

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.
