Error valuation help

Yorkshireman

I have several error coins from my late father's set and would appreciate help in determining value.
First, a 1902-O Morgan dollar with a die chip obscuring the tail of the "2" in the date:

Second, a "cut and sheer" 1974 Kennedy half:

Third, two undated Lincoln cents that are dramatically mis-punched.

I would be grateful for any help on these.

Thanks, Boosibri!
However, I have saved enough other pieces from his set.

All are errors. None are worth much of a premium however. You should just keep them.

The correct terms are die chip, clip, and off centers.

The 1902-O Morgan dollar is just a die chip. It happened on a few 1902 dies there and isn't considered anything important. That's the short answer. In the 1992 edition of the VAM book (and maybe earlier ones), the entry for 1902-O VAM 1 says "some specimens show" this break. Probably as a result of this, these die breaks weren't individually cataloged. Had they first been found today, it would probably be a different story. More recent study of 1902-O has resulted in more accurate and precise listings, with many errors being corrected. VAM 1 is not believed not to exist, and the die pairs that show this die chip in later die stages are cataloged as something else, including VAM 15A, 52, and 76.

Nice errors but not (that I have seen) of high value... @ErrorsOnCoins would be the expert in that area and I would trust his input. Cheers, RickO

Yep...........definitely collectable and worth more to you because they are keepsakes.
