    I found these early and went over them thoroughly before posting them.
    The First photo is a reference photo from coppercoins.com

    CLASS VIII - Tilted Hub Doubling: "Tilted hub doubling occurs when a die is setin the hubbing press tilted and rotated clockwise or counterclockwise from the hub. The resulting doubled die will show doubling on part of the design close to the rim, and the rest of the design will be normal." ¹

    Again, some ambiguity surrounds this class of hub doubling. Some variety experts have included the tilted hub, instead of solely the tilted die, as the cause for this type of doubling. In this scenario the tilted hub accounts for the majority of the single squeeze hubbed doubled dies (see Class IX) with or without a specific rotation to the hub.

    A misnomer associated with this class is trail dies (including wavy steps). Some listings have this anomaly type under this class of die doubling. Our contention is that trail dies are not doubled dies and thus should not be listed under any class of hub doubling.


    The photos below show a Class VIII hub doubling found on a 1964-P Lincoln cent. Notice the extra vertical bar above the L of LIBERTY and the slightly clockwise rotated second impression of the word IN. All photographs are courtesy of Coppercoins

    This is not a class VIII. It's die deterioration.
