Default Ping Alan&Erin Williams and/or any Lincoln error collectors

need some advice and such....

Over the weekend, when not visiting mom, I visited my uncle who
collected coins (he was turned onto coin collecting by his mother (my
grandma) but lost the interest after she passed away 2 years ago.

So, he has slowly been selling his collection. When he found out I
was interested in some of them, we negotiated a good deal for both
parties for some of them (I didn't want to rip him off since he could
sell them for some good money....and he didn't want to charge me what
others might pay since we are family).

So, 4 of my recent ones from this weekend a
1909s lincoln..... my guess before I photograde it would be Fine or
better. He also had a 1909vdb that I didn't get...probably close to
same condition.
Should I bother getting this one slabbed for validation? I know it
isn't the 1909s-vdb that is heavily counterfeited, but just wanted o
make sure to ask....

Then, I got:
1968-D off center strike. extra space on the coin at the bottom and
top half of "In God We Trust" is cut off
1964-D with a small chunk out of the bottom of the lincoln bust (looks
almost like a small crescent)
1957-D with liberty spelled LIBIERTY....the extra "I" is noticeable
without a close look/loupe but at first glance looks like a slanted E
with debris there and by the "B".

First glance...these all look AU+ or better to me.....

I got these from his "junk box" as he didn't care much about them
other than having them in 2x2's and labelling them. Like I said, he
lost his passion.

What kind of value to them?

He also had a 1914D nd a 1922D I think it was. Some others as well.
I also got some of this Indian head cents...1900-1908 (maybe missing
one or two....all are XF or so I believe).

I guess it is time to go through some photograde on the
cents......but, nothing would help me in the book for the errors
Thanks,

Ron
