I might have found something?...

I need opinions/advice again... I'm going through the last of my grandpa's coins and figured I'd sell a "lot" of canadian penny's and 5 cent pieces on ebay. As I was going through them and taking some pictures, I noted that this one seems to have the reverse ("tails") side upside down? From what I can tell at this site: https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php it's not meant to be? And - they don't list values for this particular error, which they normally do, - leading me to believe that this is an error that's more rare? Do you think I may have something that's worth something? ---- and re-looking now, I see on the website that it appears this "orientation" may be standard for this year...?? :/

    Canada uses what US collectors call "medal turn". It appears that is what your coin has.

    Could you take a photo of your 5 cent coin in front of a mirror so that
    we can see both sides at once.
    Also if you are interested, that is the Narrow Date variety.
