If you take a U.S. coin and rotate it right to left the reverse is upside down this is called coin alignment. In medal alignment when you rotate the coin right to left both sides are right side up. Some other countries use medal alignment. It is not uncommon for a coin to be misaligned some, the older the coin the more it happened. Modern coins maybe off a few degrees but not like you say. I do understand a few state quarters were made with medal alignment by a mint worker but there legal status is not good and they could be confiscated by the secret service. Since anything is posible you need to take it to a coin dealer or a coin club, if real then it has to be sent in to be authenticated and graded before anyone would pay a high price for it.

On a regular U.S. coin, the picture on the front is right-side up, while the picture on the back is up-side down (or vice-versa, it depends on how you look at it). So what you're saying is, you found one that has both pictures facing the same direction? If so, then it's probably quite rare...

It depends. Is the nickel like other nickels that you have seen? If so, it isn't. If it is different, it is rare.
