A cumpărat de la second-hand cu mărunțiș o hârtie rulată. Era de fapt o copie a Declarației de Independență și a vândut-o cu 477.650 $

A rare 1823 copy of the U.S. Declaration of Independence was bought for $2.48 and sold for $477,650 at auction. The document was discovered by a technician in a thrift store in Nashville. It is one of only 200 official copies commissioned by John Quincy Adams. The auction began at $125,000 and ended significantly higher than expected. The document's excellent condition contributed to its high value. The previous owner had kept it in a garage for ten years before donating it. Sparks, the buyer, reflected on the financial impact after taxes, noting it wasn't as large a fortune as it seemed.
