You cannot assess the value of a work of art until it is up for sale.
The following is taken from a book about Rembrandt's etchings:
Self-portrait Drawing at a Window"A common very desirable portrait. Early impressions are rare."
There were three trial proofs before the 1st State and estimates their value at $20,000 to $25,000 and the first state at $12,500 for an early impression and $5,000 for a late impression.

Yes there can be. A good example are Rembrandt prints. It is customary to do an edition (more than 1) of prints from an etching. There are also artist proofs. The signature and notation is key. A notation of 7/100 means that print is the 7th one in an edition of 100. Rembrandt signed his original prints in a variety of ways which also affect the value, and each print is technically an original. Also, since many of his plates survived other artists/printers created later editions, some are also valuable.
The value of a hand signed and numbered etching titled First Thaw by Paul Bisson depends highly on a couple of things. Some of these things would include authenticity and condition of the etching.

You cannot assess the value until it is up for sale. And it won't be.
If the etching is one of a kind, I recomend looking for the name of the artist on the etching. If there is a name, you can look up the artist and get a general idea of what a piece of his/her art is worth. If there are more than one sculpture/etching of this same theme. Try to find the price or value of the other.
they range around $600-800 from what I have seen -
The original price of the Sun Bird Framed Etching was $185.00
a minimum of $330.00
10,000 dollars
It depends on whether it is original or has been altered. If it has great appeal I would say a minimum of $250.00 I have several lamps and smoke tables made by Rembrandt.
The value of a print depends on many things. A print created by an artist from an original etching or plate would have the most value. Rembrandt and Druer are good examples of highly valuable and sometimes price-less prints. A modern day machine reproduced print really has no value except aesthetic, unless it is an authorized limited edition print. One needs to be wary, however, because limited edition is used often research is important.
