Yes, people did that. But wouldn’t you do it evenly around the entire circumference of the coin? Why would you trim it to make the die perfectly off center on the blank?

You are correct. No one would. The reverse on a few of them were an OC strike but it also looks like some of the planchets were asymmetrical as well. It does not appear that any of them were trimmed or clipped.
