A rare copy of the US Constitution went missing for centuries. Now it's being auctioned for millions
Historical document appraiser and collector Seth Kaller spreads a broad sheet of paper across a desk. There are just a few creases and tiny discolorations, even though it's just a few weeks shy of 237 years old and has spent who knows how long inside a filing cabinet in North Carolina. This copy was printed after the Constitutional Convention finished drafting the proposed framework of the nation's government in 1787 and sent it to the Congress of the ineffective first American government under the Articles of Confederation, requesting they send it to the states to be ratified by the people.
