After a first edition of this constitution sold for an incredible price last year, a rare version from 1787 will be offered next month, Sotheby’s House revealed on Tuesday. It is anticipated that the price will be in the range of $20 million to $30 million.
The copy of this constitutional text that was found in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, by the “founding fathers” of the United States, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison, is a special group, as is the copy that Sotheby’s sold in New York last year for $43 million.
He noted that the next auction, set for December 13, may be worth between $20 million and $30 million, but that it is possible for the auctions to go over this amount.
Sotheby’s, owned by the French businessman who holds Israeli nationality, Patrick Drahi, indicates that only 13 known copies of the first edition of the United States constitution remain, while he was likely printed at the time 500 copies.
Of the 13 variants, eleven are still in use at libraries and museums, and the other two are still in use by private persons or groups.
The American gathering Dorothy Taber Goldman’s failure to influence the version that was sold in November 2021 was to blame.
This version bought the American billionaire, Kenneth Griffin, for a record price of $ 43. 2 million. Then he gave her on free loan to an Arklecau museum.
The public will be able to view the second version in New York from November 4 until the auction date on December 13.
