    Your quarter is an off-center. Although I'm no expert in error coin pricing, IMHO it's barely off enough to carry a numismatic premium. The full date is a point in its favor.

    The pictures of the 5 centavo are too small and washed-out colored for me to identify it. Try cropping out all that brown background and reposting the pictures with larger coin images; or at least post the country it is from to aid in locating it in the Standard Catalog of World Coins. (The centavo denomination was used in almost 20 countries during the 19th Century!

    I dont know if it carries a premium, but the 25 cent piece is cool :) I have gone though thousands of dollars of coinage from banks over the years and have never found an off center coin .. So it may not carry much of a premium, but it is still cool.

    The 5 centavo is from Puerto Rico 1896 KM #20, hard to say when it comes to value with the photo but I am going to venture to say its in F or VF condition which would probably price it around 25-35 USD...in UNC condition a coin like that would be 200+. Its a bit rare and a bit valuable even in poorer conditions.

    Thw Washington is about 10 % off center.
    It is probably worth about $10. Retail.
    Wholesale? A lot less.

    I'm certainly no expert, but the quarter looks like a broadstike to me.

    Well...where did I err? Wrong attribution? Or are you saying the grade is worse than figured? I DID say its difficult to tell from the photo...its not in great shape, thats for sure. :)

    Drusus, I was just kidding with you. No harm meant. But I think this coin is a off center 1978 Washington quarter.

    hamman88 Spare some change, sir?

    That quarter is a partial braodstrike, not a off center. Worth $20?
