On Pkn​ with n>0, let F=i∗​k at a rational point. It has one-dimensional global sections, but its dual of a sheaf is zero: a local map from the residue field into the local polynomial ring must have image annihilated by a nonzero parameter, which is impossible in an integral domain. Thus Hn(F∨(−n−1))=0. Serre duality for arbitrary coherent sheaves instead uses an Ext functor; replacing this by the ordinary dual can lose torsion information.
