| Magna Carta to be Auctioned (Dec. 18, '07) Posted by Michael E. Marotta on 12/18, 5:35am | ||
| It will be sold by David N. Redden, a Sotheby’s vice chairman who sold a copy of the Declaration of Independence for a hammer price of $7.4 million in 2000. That copy had been tucked behind a $4 flea-market painting. The buyers were the television producer Norman Lear, who created shows like “All in the Family” and “Maude,” and the Internet entrepreneur David Hayden. www.nytimes.com/2007/09/25/nyregion/25magna.html That you can own a copy of the Magna Carta or the Declaration of Independence is a measure of freedom you may not appreciate. Some people want to take away that right. The Ancient Coin Collector's Guild was created to help fend off attacks on your property by academic archaeologists working in collusion with governments to seize your property. This has happened here in America. People have been arrested. Others have had their property seized by police and given to foreign governments. By law, this can happen to any property, but the targets tend to be "antiquities" more than 100 (one hundred) years old. | ||
