Are alot of Morgans found with SM clips?

Type2

I found some with Sm clips only 4 or 5 but did not know if they are worth keeping, How about off centers Cents any value on them as well?

I believe that offcenter and double struck cents have more value if they have a date (or two)

I have never found a Morgan clip, and you rarely see them. My guess is they will make someone very happy.....

Although I've only seen maybe thirty morgan dollars and peace dollars with clips, I haven't seen them command much of a premium. On average I'd say I've seen them sell for about $20 or $30 over melt, but they weren't uncirculated and most were graded. The double and triple strikes are nice errors and will bring a decent price. As earlier said, the off center strikes will be more valuable with a visible date. Your off center wheat cent will command much more than a regular off center copper lincoln with a date, though. I'd estimate somewhere above $60 since it is a nice, red example. You have a great lot here. Looks like you had fun going through it!

Edit: Also, I'd think the date will definetely make a difference as to the value of the Morgan dollar clips. Seanq could probably help you out with that.

I would be very suspicious of the Morgan clip seen to see more of these fake than real.

I have *zero* concerns about that Morgan clip. It's legit. As others have said, there's not a huge premium for these. Completed listing on eBay show a less-nice one that sold for $35, and a slabbed AU-58 that sold for $55.

The multiple strikes are odd. I've noticed lately that they've been selling MUCH higher on eBay than I thought they'd sell for. (Unfortunately for me, I noticed this after I passed on the chance to buy a group of them -- darn.). The double struck 1979-D with the struck reverse seems to be bringing $50-$100 now, and the triple struck 1973-D should be easily $100+. The off-center wheat cent would likely also be $50+. As I said, I don't understand those prices, but that seems to be the current mraket.

The off-center zinc cent is < $5, sorry.

a close-up of the morgan at 7 and 2 would be nice but it appears to have the blakesely where it should

Dead on response here. I've also noticed a spike in value on eBay for combo errors (clipped and off-center) and ragged clips. Last week a triple-clipped 1969-S cent that I might have offered $10-12 for sold for $61. I would not be surprised if the O/C 1957-D cent went for nore than $50+, especially if you can find two guys who want it for a date set.

Clipped 1921 Morgan dollars like the one in the OP are not really hard to find. Philly mint examples are the most plentiful, followed by San Fransisco with Denver mint examples being scarce. They typically sell for a small premium over melt unless the condition or size is exceptional. The clip on the OP's coin is a bit larger than typically seen and seems to be in great shape, so I would expect it to sell for a premium over melt.

Clips on earlier Morgan dollars are very scarce to rare, and should be worth a significant premium. I always bid strongly whenever I see one on eBay. The coin in my type set is dated 1881, I also have an 1883 and perhaps one other. I once owned a clipped 1894-O in an old small ANACS holder, I think that one eventually wound up at NEN through my old trading partner.

Type2, it looks like you got yourself quite a deal on those errors, by all means keep the picture posts coming.

TTT. I found a picture of my 1881 Morgan clip:



...and here's an old scan of the 1894-O:
