Value of a few Lincoln errors?

Hey guys, a buddy of mine showed me two Lincoln cents he has pulled out of circulation over the past few years, he was wondering how much they were worth so I took a few pictures. If you could give me a rough estimate on their worth I will pass it along to him.

    Me too.



    On the top one you can see damage on the reverse from whatever hit the obverse.

    The second one is a copper off center so it's probably a 1980-82.
    You can tell it's copper not zinc by the finish.

    The top one looks like it was hit by a round head standard screw multiple times.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Now that you mentioned it, I can see 3 screw head prints.
    Even explains the pattern on the top one as they oriented the screw in 2 different ways.
