Compare your nickel's orientation to modern coins in your pocket change. The back of all U.S. coins is upside-down in relation to the front.

If the buffalo and Indian images both point the same direction you could have what's called a rotated-die error. If the dies aren't put into the coin press correctly the two sides can be rotated by as much as 180º. If you suspect a rotated-die error you should have the coin inspected in person.

Were the 1915 buffalo head nickels front and backs always upside down?

If I understand the wording of the question the answer is yes, but to be sure lay the coin flat with the heads side up and turn the coin left to right the Buffalo should be upside down on each turn. In fact, all US coins are minted this way so you should be able to do this with anything in your pocket change. NOTE: the coins are called Indian Head and or Buffalo Nickels not buffalo head nickels.

What is the value of a 1935 upside down buffalo nickel?

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.
