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

Rotated Die Strikes
When you say it is upside down, are you turning it side-to-side like turning pages in a book, or top-to-bottom? The reverse should be upside down when turning side-to-side, but if it is not you have a rotated reverse which could be fairly valuable, but nothing to plan your early retirement around. Search eBay for other modern coins (probably statehood quarters have shown up) with "rotated" in the description.
The simplest and most obvious thing to do is to look at other coins in your change. This question comes up very frequently and can almost always be addressed by simply looking beyond the one coin in your hand at the momemt. In fact, ALL circulating U.S. coins have the sides oriented oppositely when flipped side to side like a book page.
Some countries (Canada, U.K, EU) use what's called "medal rotation" where both sides are oriented the same way when flipped side to side. Neither is right or wrong, they're just different.
