Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 02/16/2011 12:48 am I don't see the distortion you're talking about. The initials don't really seem like they're leaning to me, but maybe they're related. Edited by Scooby Due 02/16/2011 12:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 02/16/2011 07:45 am My opinion is die wear...I've seen a few 88's like that too. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/16/2011 07:47 am It's just die wear. Try to be a little more descriptive when you're posting your questions. I've seen a few cases lately where people leave half a question and an image and expect people to guess what they want. Believe me, you're not the only one. Report this Post to the Staff
oldcoach Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 02/16/2011 11:17 am Figure the die wear caused the tilting on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 02/16/2011 5:20 pm Die wear and erosion can cause distortion like that on the coin pictured. Die distortion can also cause a secondary image that looks very much like a doubled die. Other types of die distortion can cause the die detail to fade into the fields, which to the uninitiated can resemble circulation. This the doubled image distortion is more common on nickels, as it's a harder metal. Report this Post to the Staff
