First, could I ask that you please take a look at your pocket change? You'll find two things: 1. All U.S. coins carry the motto "E Pluribus Unum" 2. All U.S. coins have their reverse sides oriented opposite (i.e. upside down) compared to their front sides. Thus neither one of these makes a coin valuable. In any case, assuming you have the most common design for a 1921 dollar, the so-called "Morgan" design (named for its artist) your coin is worth somewhere between $14 and $18 depending on its condition. Whether the eagle is truly upside-down depends on how you're flipping the coin. If you flip the coin from top to bottom, the eagle should remain right-side-up. However, if you're flipping it side-to-side, the eagle will normally be upside-down. If yours has a rotated reverse, it's going to be worth at least a couple of hundred dollars. Compare the orientation of the sides on your dollar with other coins in your pocket change. U.S. coins all have their reverses oriented 180 degrees off from their obverses (fronts). The motto E Pluribus Unum ("From many, one") has appeared on dollars since 1878 and on all circulating U.S. coins since around 1916, so this isn't a distinguishing characteristic. The most important characteristics are denomination, date, mintmark, and condition.
