Joseph Smith Book of Mormon 1st Edition

The Joseph Smith Book of Mormon 1st edition is going down in value over the last decade and that is a rare occurrence in the rare book trade. Prices have been as high as double than what they are now. Why is that? I don’t know. The Book of Mormon play? Anyway, what once was a $100,000 book is probably worth around $45,000 now and we can get that price for you now for your Joseph Smith Book of Mormon 1st edition, in case you believe the value might decline further. The Joseph Smith Book of Mormon 1st edition was printed by E.B. Grandin in Palmyra, New York and is one of 5,000 copies. Also, the Joseph Smith Book of Mormon 1st edition was the only edition in which Smith was named as author; in all subsequent editions he is designated as translator.

The first edition is also the only edition with Smiths two-page preface (pages [iii]-iv).

Theoretical physicist Dr. Kenneth Wilson was awarded a Nobel medal in 1982 for his work in condensed physics. On May 26 it will be awarded to the highest bidder.

Wilson’s 18 karat gold medal is being auctioned off by Nate D. Sanders Auctions. According to the auction house’s description, it will be auctioned off in its original case, which is stamped with Dr. Wilson’s name, and alongside a letter of authenticity by the late physicist’s widow, Alison Brown. The minimum bid is set at $450,000.

This will be the 19th Nobel prize to be auctioned off. The first was a Nobel Peace Prize originally awarded to William Randal Cremer, and was sold in 1985 by Sotheby’s for $17,440.
