Why does something that granted the nobility more power over the monarch equate to a "birth certificate of freedom"? However, it is a famous piece of history, is quite rare, so is thus quite valuable to collectors.

thats way to much money, if your that rich donate to some charites help some starving unprivledged kids, IN AMERICA. Give that to a muesem, and give the 22 billion dollars to a charity or help people that need help. I know it seems harsh but kinda seems like a waste of money, i think it should be in goverment possesion and displayed like the decleration of independence

I like the concept of an "original copy."

"original copy" is an oxymoronic impossibility.
