I found several nickels that don't look right while searching rolls this week (just started doing this after finding this site-my wife thinks I am crazy-she may be right). The '85 below seems off center to the right; so much that the 5 goes right to the edge of the coin. The '84 does the same to the left plus the right side looks to have two rims and the P mint mark looks odd. Is this a common thing-I found several nickels that seemed off center. Any ideas/suggestions for someone new to this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I think the coin in question is within normal striking parameters.

I believe you have two nickels with slightly misaligned die strikes, I bet the reverse is centered on both.
no real importance as a mint error.

misaligned dies are the most commonly found error in Jefferson nickels. Only ones off by around 5% or greater are worth around a dollar or so. And ones misaligned so bad that they are missing part of the design are sometimes worth a bit more
