It went for a staggering $43.
Richard Austin, Sotheby's global head of books and manuscripts, said in a statement that last year's record sale was proof of the"enduring importance and influence" of the historical document, adding that there are high hopes for the sale of the remaining copy. "A year later after the record-breaking sale, we hope the remarkable opportunity to acquire one of two privately owned copies of the Constitution will inspire a similar response that galvanized the public last year," Austin said.
