Found 1984P Off Center Nickels (2 in one roll!)

Found both of these in the same roll. One is only slightly off center. The other one is clearly off center. Rear of both coins look normal to my untrained eye. I am thinking about throwing these on FeeBay. What do you think they will fetch? Any technical analysis that anyone has to offer on this would be great. I don't know any of the coin lingo. I am just searching for war nickels!

The one on the right is pretty cool - I've never found anything unusual like those...

The one on the left is within normal variation. The one on the right is nice though.

Thanks for the input Roadrunner. Here is a scan. A little better quality than the pic from last night. Got the back on here as well. Anyone interested in this? Any ideas what it might fetch on eBay?

If the reverse is normal it can't be considered off-center, it's a misaligned die strike. The one on the right is waaay off and I think it might actually be better than an off-center. I don't know what kind of price either would bring though.

Nice finds IMO they are keepers.
