How many off centers do you see?
This is a real coin found in my wife's change jar.

I think he is looking at the marks above the USA on the top edge. They are just die movement marks. Pushed plating. Eventually if there is a split in the plating these will start to start to separate from the plating.

Nutrino, I must go along with Chuck, and the rest. I see nothing out of the norm.
Mike, in order for what you refer to as "rail tracks" to be present, the coin would have had to have been struck 'partially out of the collar, which would have allowed expansion of part of the planchet, beyond the collar, thus giving the look of the wheels on a rail car.
nutrino,
If there is any "off-centering", it is minimal, and my eyes don't see enough to draw my attention to it. Not to mention that without seeing the OBV, it is impossible to be sure if it is "off center", or MAD, "miss-aligned die". I think this is what you are asking.
Dick
