A Pair of American Eagles

Edward Tinker · 04-05-2011, 01:08 AM

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...

if they are restored, it sure wasn't by any kitchen table amatuer!
