Very nice, I collect American Eagle, although no expert by any means.

I think 7115 has been restored, its color looks off to me, but from pictures it is always very hard to tell!

The other looks good, although the crown N seems light; but same caveat as above, as they both seem like old restores to me.

I would say, for a restored in range, but not bannerman 1900, $2500, if original (obviously the strawing is most likely not) then almost double that, around $4000-$4500

The 1906 is worth around $1500-$1800, more if original?

Pictures can show a lot, but in person is the best way, especially for an old restore done 20, 30 or 60 years ago...
