A long-missing certificate with Abraham Lincoln's
signature was found recently at a college in Pennsylvania by the school
president. The retiring
president of Lycoming College was cleaning out his closet when he found the
150-year-old document. James Douthat was pulling out what he thought was an
access panel to plumbing when he discovered a framed certificate, dated 1863,
which named the college’s founder, a Civil War chaplain. A similar certificate
also signed by Lincoln recently sold for $11,000, according to a noted
autograph dealer.
Have you
ever made a surprise discovery of something valuable?
