Answer

Without a first-hand inspection, it's impossible to tell what you have. It could be an impossibly rare mint error, or a coin altered after it left the mint.

I suggest you check out the show list on http://www.anacs.com to see if the ANACS service will be in your area in the near future. If so, you can take your coin to the show and get a free professional appraisal from them.

If not, check out http://www.coinshows.com to see if there are any shows in your area, where you could get a first-hand appraisal from a dealer.

Good luck,

Dan

Another possibility

The reversed lettering could indicate that you could have what's called a brockage error. Brockages occur when a coin fails to leave the press and stays in while the next blank is fed in. The first coin then acts like a die, except that it already has positive images on it so they're pressed backwards onto the second coin. Brockage errors can be moderately valuable. For example Jefferson nickel brockages are quoted at roughly $50 retail by MintErrorNews.

However there are also fake brockage errors made by manually hammering a one coin onto another so I'd definitely second Dan's advice to get an in-person appraisal.

The rotor blade on the side of the helicopter that moving in the opposite direction?

The tail rotor is moving "perpendicular" to the main rotor, not "opposite". The tail rotor creates thrust opposite to the thrust of the main rotor, to keep the fuselage from spinning. Most helicopters spin the main rotor counter-clockwise looking from above, which puts a clockwise rotation on the fuselage. You need a tail rotor pushing the tail counter-clockwise to keep the fuselage pointed in the direction the pilot chooses.

How does the earth's rotation effect the view of the stars?

The earth's rotation's only effect on the view of the stars is the direction you're looking in when you look in the sky. Thus, during the day, you're looking "at the sun," and at night, you're looking "away from the sun." This is also dependent on the earth's position in it's orbit around the sun, because depending on the time of year, the sun's light obscures different stars from our view, and looking "away from the sun" means looking in one direction in winter, and in the opposite direction in summer.

First look up and down each row for the letter the word starts with. Then, if you find a match, look at the letters that seem to form a box around that single letter. If you find another mach, keep going straight in that direction, until you find a different letter, or the word you were looking for.
