[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2684403, member: 27832"]I thought about that, too, but putting a straight rule across the photo eliminates that possibility. The reeds really are angled relative to the coin's orientation. Put an image of an L-square so that one edge is flat against the coin's face, and the reeds are at an actual angle to the other leg. [I]But so are the reeds on the leftmost coin[/I]. They're at the [I]opposite[/I] angle.
