[NHCOLL-L:1399] RE: Insurance value for a mounted bald eagle

[Kerrie Hoar]

PLEASE RESPOND TO RICH'S QUESTION ON THE LIST SERVE -- I AM VERY 
INTERESTED IN THE SAME THING.  IN MY CASE, IT IS THE VALUE OF SPECIMENS 
IN OUR UNIVERSITY'S MAMMAL, BIRD AND BUTTERFLY COLLECTIONS.  WE ARE 
SUPPOSED TO VALUE THESE FOR INSURANCE COVERAGE PURPOSES, BUT DO NOT KNOW 
EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT?  DO YOU GO BY REPLACEMENT COST? -- IF SO, WHAT 
ABOUT EXTINCT OR ENDANGERED SPECIES THAT ARE IRREPLACEABLE?  DOES 
SOMEONE OUT THERE HAVE A FORMULA FOR THIS?

THANKS,

KERRIE

Reply-To: rich at thewildlifemuseum.org

Folks:

I've been asked to help the USFWS determine the value of a bald eagle 
mount.
What the agent is interested in is the value assigned to such a mount for
insurance purposes.  Does anyone out there have such a value assigned 
to a
full mount in their collections?  Would you be willing to share that
information?

Thanks!
