What is the value of land grants signed by Ulysses S Grant and Chester A Arthur?

Highly unlikely that either President actually signed a land grant in their own hand. Somewhere about 1830, President Andrew Jackson gave "secretarial authority" to others to pen his signature to the multitude of "ordinary" documents the President is expected to sign each day. The practice continues even today. So, in answer to your question, unless the land grant is to someone or someplace of some historical importance, I don't see it as a money value. But a great conversation piece!
