Without seeing it in person it's difficult to say, but you may have what's called an offset error. A key factor is whether the back-side image that's on the front is also a mirror image rather than being the same direction as the back image on a normal bill. If it's reversed, that increases the chance that your bill is an offset error but you should still have it checked in person by an expert; offset errors can be worth as much as a couple of hundred dollars.

To explain an offset error, the images on US bills are printed in at least three stages. Sometimes a sheet of paper gets stuck and doesn't go through one of the stages. That causes ink to be put onto a part of the press called the impression cylinder instead of onto the paper. When the next sheet gets unstuck and goes through correctly it picks up not only the ink it's supposed to get but also picks up the ink from the impression cylinder, so it receives two images one of which is backwards.

What states printed on the back from the five dollar bill?

The back of a $5 bill shows either 26 or 27 states across the top of the Lincoln Memorial, depending on what age it has and what image was used. Because the state names run all the way around the top of the Memorial, it's clearly impossible to show all of them in a single 2-dimensional image. (Unless and until a Harry Potter-style bill is printed where the images can move, LOL!)


What is the value of a 5 bill printed 1995 with Lincoln on it?

The same as every other double headed or double tailed coin you find. It's a novelty item made privately and sold as a "magician's coin". They cost a few bucks in a novelty shop but are not worth anything to a coin collector.

Why are there states printed on the five dollar bill?

The back of a $5 bill has a picture of the Lincoln Memorial which has the names of all 48 states that existed at the time it was built, so of course the image on the $5 bill will show that as well. Of those, either 26 or 27 states are shown, depending on what age it has and what image was used. Because the state names run all the way around the top of the Memorial it's clearly impossible to show all of them in a single 2-dimensional image. (Unless and until a Harry Potter-style bill is printed where the images can move, LOL!)
