Error Coins?

I found these while going through some of my forgotten closet stuff. The quarter is offset quite a bit. The penny has a big "grind" on the front yet Lincoln's face is still viewable. What kind of action causes this. I assume the quarter is classified as offset? What is the penny classified as? Are these type of interest to collectors? Thank you.

    The SHQ is offcenter and the cent is a strike through I think.

    If the quarter's reverse is centered, then it was struck with a misaligned obverse die. If both sides aren't centered, it's a broadstrike, since no design is missing.

    The cent looks like it had a lamination that detached after it was struck, or the obverse was struck through something.

    I agree that the cent is a strike through. The quarter though, could be a couple things from that picture. A misaligned die would be unlikely and the more probable would be a partial collar or broadstrike. If there is no reeding on the edge, it would be a broadstrike. If there is evidence of a collar, it's a partial collar. What state is it? The state will determine the value imo.

    Thank you for the help. The reverse of the quarter is off center just as the front is.

    Then the quarter is a broadstrike.

    The Lincoln cent is a lamination.

    And although I'm late to this post,
    I agree with the last two postings.

    The State Quarter is a Broadstruck
    coin - not a MAD.

    The Cent is a lamination, not grease filled dies.

    The broad, shallow indentation on the cent could be a lamination error (separated after strike), but I doubt it. The floor of the depression is quite smooth. I suspect the coin was struck through a lamination flake that spalled off another planchet.
