    The first coin is damaged, the second coin is called an off-center strike.

    Any idea what the off center might be worth?

    That off center would be worth approximately 5 bucks... but I could be wrong.
    Is it copper or zinc?

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    The off center looks copper to me. No evidence of plating being broken as would appear on '82 or later.

    The first one is definitely PMD.

    I think it's a zincer... I see small plating breaks between the ED on the reverse.

    $10 will get you 3 2L of Coke, tostitos chips, and 2 cans of fritos cheese.

    You can have your own little party with $10

    The 1988 is definitely PMD. On the reverse, you can see the date from another coin backwards.....2006(?)

    On that '88 coin--has another coin been forced/smashed into the surface of the other coin? Pretty interesting damage.

    That's what it appears. People will often squeeze or smash cents together to get interesting effects and in some cases, try to pass them off as genuine errors.
