A man goes to a Lancaster County antique market and buys a ragged old painting because he likes its wooden frame. Price, $4.
He goes home, removes the painting from the frame and, there, hidden between the painting and its wood backing, he finds a folded document.
The document, in almost pristine condition, turns out to be one of the first printed copies of the Declaration of Independence.
Value, about $1 million.

"It took one second to know it was right," said David Redden, vice president of Sotheby's, who authenticated the document. "But what really astonished us was the condition - so fresh, so clean."
i bet the original seller feels like a dumbass now
