I came across 5 SBA,s that I recently acquired and notice while looking at them that at least 5 are very very slightly off centre. I would think because I have 5 out of 15 that this is very common but not being very good at coins am not sure.

    It's probably the "wide rim" variety, and is worth a small premium do a search for wide rim and sba. Estimates are about 2-10% of total mintage.

    If only slighty off on one side and not the other, you probably have some Misaligned Dies or "MAD". Not worth a premium unless some of the design element is missing ...... just like an off center coin. A true off center coin can NOT be considered o/c unless there is design element missing.
