This photographer took the photo at an oblique angle with the date in the foreground and the Indian's forehead in the back. They then used graphic software to rotate the image to the normal vertical alignment, resulting in an odd looking final shape. At first, I thought this coin was bent.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4036 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 1:13 pm The coin is tilted toward the light source such that the light reflects directly off the coin and toward the lens. This is known as "pseudo-axial" lighting. Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
