CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.

CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here

    The 1995 cent is an enormous broadstrike. The first "9" of the date of the 1979 quarter appears to be cut off where it meets the edge of the coin, so that would make it an off-center strike. If all of the design is present on both faces, it would be an uncentered broadstrike.

        The reverse face of the quarter emphatically shows that you've got an off-center strike. The cent is a broadstike. It probably made transient contact with the collar as it expanded, which produced a false rim on the reverse.

          would the quarter be worth more as a off center or a broadstrike? I am very confused about value of my coin errors.

            No real difference in value between an uncentered broadstrike and a minor off-center strike. The enormously expanded 1995 cent broadstrike might bring as much as $50. The quarter might be worth $25.
