I have a 1941 Lincoln wheat penny. When you turn the penny over, the wheat side is upside down. is this penny worth anything? I have looked at new pennies, and when you flip over the penny, the back of the penny is in the same upright position as the front side. Not on mine however.

U.S. cents are coin alignment, you turn it over by going from the bottom towards the top. Medal alignment is left to right. I have never heard of a wheat cent that was exactly 180 degrees out. That is to much of a change for a lose die to rotate and no, a die can not be put in wrong, for it wont fit right. You must have flipped one coin over one way and then the other coin the other way. If you turn a U.S. coin from left to right one side will be upside down.

US coins have coin orientation feature, that when you flip about its horizontal axis the other side is the correct way up. Else your cent could be an error coin but needs to be authenticated to ensure that it's legit. 180' rotations are rare and would fetch a handsome sum if auctioned.
