Two things to note:
- Some of them may be forgeries.A fake $2 coin is more likely to suffer from poor quality control than a genuine one.
- $2 coins are on the small side. A slight off-centring is therefore going to be more noticeable on a smaller coin. That being said, if size alone were a major causal factor, then we should see just as many 5 cent pieces with similar off-centring - and for the most part, we don't. There must therefore be something in the $2 production line that differs from the 5 cent line in some significant way. $2 coins are thicker, and they have the interrupted milling, but I can't see either of those factors causing an increase in die misalignment.
