Just this once the angle of the coin image is not due to rushed/sloppy/lazy imaging on my part. The faces of the coin are actually rotationally offset. And since I use a flatbed scanner to take pictures of the coins I align them in the scanner based on the side facing up… i.e. not the side being imaged the result is angled coin pics.
