Hi, Tina. It would help if you'd tell us what country this penny is
from.

Do you mean that it is rotated somewhat from a strict 180 degrees? If so,
by how much? Small increments of rotation are fairly common. Look at a set
of Lincolns in an album sometime where you can see both sides of the coins.
Usually collectors will align the date and LIBERTY horizontally and allow
the reverses to align or misalign as they will.

Sounds like a common misaligned die. The value would depend on the condition of the
coin and the degree to which it was misaligned.

Sorry..it's a wheat (USA) and the back is about at 10 o'clock when you flip
it
