Broadstrikes have all of the design present where off center part of the design is missing.

And correction to my previous - it can be struck both in and out of collar

Actually off-center strikes and broadstrikes are, by definition, struck outside the collar die. Broadstrikes have all (or nearly all) of the design remaining. Off-center strikes have some of the design missing from the coin as a result of being struck outside the collar.

Yes I stand corrected - if the collar is involved then it has to be a partial collar. Even if they look to be broadstruck.
