VMI88 Posted June 22, 2024 #1 Posted June 22, 2024 I'm pretty sure this wing is a restrike: the pin opens 180 degrees and there are no index marks for the findings on the reverse. However, it's a quality die-struck wing. Is it safe to assume it's a more recent Meyer restrike rather than a fake? It doesn't exactly match other Meyer restrikes I found on the forum but these seem to have been made over time and show a lot of variation. Is there any value to a sterling Meyer restrike?
rathbonemuseum.com Posted June 22, 2024 #2 Posted June 22, 2024 You are correct that it is a modern N.S. Meyer restrike made with the original dies. They are worth basically the sum of their material. So like $20. Worth nothing to wing collectors. We all have some in our "box of tears" before everyone caught on. here is the post that discusses Meyer restrikes:
