Straigh Grade or Off-Center Error

Crew,

I have always been curious how far off center, if any, a coin can be to obtain a regular grade or move it to an off-center error. Let's look at a couple nice 1983-P Jefferson Nickels. This date is tough in the Jefferson Series with super nice full steps.

Let me know your thoughts.

The first example is obviously off-center by, say, 5%.

This example is so close to perfect alignment, but is so slightly off. I see a full rim and would think this coin would receive a standard grade. Six solid steps! Don't see this very often.
