Just from your photo, it looks to be uncirculated but it doesn't have a very good strike and there are some bag marks. If Unc, MS61 at best.

Minted upside down? never seen one of those!..(Just teasin')...Google "full step nickles" and see how many steps were fully struck on your coin. the more visible steps the better the grade.

The more steps, usually, the better strike. That may or may not have an influence on the grade. If it truly is uncirculated, it will definitely effect value. In a circulated coin, it sometimes can have virtually no effect on price depending on grade and what other problems the coin might have.
