Error gurus, please help with a pair of graded Lincoln errors

I am having trouble finding values for a couple of Lincoln errors I collected from change myself many moons ago. I had both graded ny NGC a few years ago. The links below are pictures of both. I will be putting these up for sale on the BST and/or Ebay in the future, but I'd like to get an idea of their value. I tried "Mint Error News" but its price guide didn't have entries for either type.

The first is a 1964-D, Double Struck, Rotated in Collar graded MS62 BN. It is most cool looking on the reverse where the Lincoln Memorial has been spun around about 285 degrees for the second strike. Lincoln's profile is very visible on his shoulder on the obverse. This is my all-time favorite error found in circulation, so I'm still wavering on whether to sell or not...

The second is a 1969-S double clip, MS63 BN

Thanks for your help!

I say about $20.00 for all.

The 69s - Not sure maybe $20 at the tops; I do like how both clips are directly opposite each other.

For the 64 I would say about $50.

The double-struck cent should bring about $125. The double-clipped cent actually looks like a triple clip -- two small curved clips at opposite poles and an elliptical clip at the bottom. It does appear that the coin was struck in-collar but that the coin's edge coincides with the base of Lincoln's bust. There doesn't appear to be a design rim in this area. If it's a triple clip with an elliptical clip, it should be worth over $100.

It's a double clip, the bottom is a shadow from the holder.

Yes, that is a shadow on the clipped cent. It is only a double clip.

Thanks for clarifying. The double clip should be worth perhaps $10.
