Declaration of Independence Sells for $3.36M
Was following this auction after reading about it in cllct yesterday- estimates had it selling for as high as $5M. Final sale price was $3.36M, which is a big jump from the last time a version like this sold ($2.895 last year), but still well below the high estimate.
The crown jewel of Declaration of Independence copies is Thomas Jefferson's, and nobody knows where that one is, if it still exists. Rick Harrison told us on Mantel Quality Stories it could sell for $50M if it ever surfaces. Crazy.
