2006 Old SF Mint Error?

On the obverse of the 2006 Old SF Mint silver commemorative dollar, the tops of the "ITE" in "GRANITE" appears to be crooked, at least compared to the I and T in "MINT" above. Are all of the other 2006 Old SF Mint coins like that?




I compared it to an image online of the same coin, and it looks straighter on that one. Perhaps this is simply a common error, or perhaps it's a rarer variety?

Looks like the full coin pic. Increasing magnification with a scope pic causes one to see things that are really just from a normal strike.

 

Shoot, I start seeing things after a few belts o' bourbon.........

When I get back home I'll have to check mine iPen.......

 

Notice the "I" - same as your High mag photo.........

Jesus - tooooo funny!!!

 

It is because a different font is used for "THE GRANITE LADY". You will notice that four different fonts are used.

Is this the 'proof' issue iPen?

 

Yes.

 

Sure do look Proofy - his scope lights are distorting the image

 

Oh, and on the pic I sent, put cursor on pic, right click, then click "open" to get a high mag pic.
