Best Answer

All US Coins have their reverse sides oriented 180 degrees opposite to the front. If you flip the nickel from side to side like the page of a book, the two sides should point in opposite directions. Compare the orientation with other coins in your pocket change to see how the alignment works.

If your coin doesn't have the same orientation as others, you could have what's called a rotated-die error. These can be valuable depending on the extent of rotation but the coin would have to be inspected in person by a dealer or appraiser who works with error coins.

What is the value of a 2004 Louisiana Purchase nickel with the back printed upside-down?

The value will be five cents. Older coins were often struck with one side first, then the other - meaning that the face and reverse sides were not aligned. Modern processes are able to strike both sides simultaneously - meaning the images on both sides of the coin are perpendicular.
