LOL. You got me. I thought for sure he was looking at the some sort of 1861 commemorative reverse.

HHHMMMMMMMM. Oddly enough that is something to think about. Just how many of our coins have dates that could read the same right side up or upside down. And that would make a fantastic displayed type coin collection. As many as possible coins that read a normal date upside down.
His 1861 Nickel is only one. Then too there is 1881, 1981, 1988, etc. Anyone try to guess how many are like that?

I had a co-worker do the same thing to me. She thought she had a real old Canadian quarter dated 1861 as well. She caught the error when I asked her whose profile was on the coin

Can't make a mistake with a 1961 nickel. Turn it upside down. The date is still 1961! Magic! Your employee would NOT have come to you with one of THOSE!..  Any number that looks the same right side up or upside down is enough to confuse some people. 1,6,9 and 0 are the digits which would make up those numbers. How about a radar banknote that uses them? Backwards or forwards, upside down or not, it would't matter. |

 Got to give him credit for the effort. At least you know he is looking for rarities for you. |

At least he tried. Not like the other story I read here on the forum about how a co-worker called someone a weirdo for checking coins.

Your employee was going to charge you $2.00 for your nickel  |

1861 is a little early for nickels.

Pfft, that's nothing. I once found a dime from 9861. Strangely enough, everything except the date was upside down...

Well that just proves time travel IS possible since that coin was obviously brought back from the future!

See, What I got out of that is An employee handling money that could actually look at a coin upside down and not realize it is upside down likely wouldn't be a top choice for cashier.
