The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History is, for some reason, parting with one of the three existing Manuscript Copies of the Thirteenth amendment to the United States Constitution, signed and endorsed by Lincoln.

They are modestly estimating the outcome at somewhere between $2 and 3 million.
But Lincoln’s signature on the broadside of the Emancipation proclamation might turn out a steal…
Details are here

Did anyone else notice that Sotheby's got the description wrong regarding the counter-signing of the Emancipation proclamation? The description said it was counter-signed by Seward and Hay[s] (sic). But the actual copy shows that it was counter-signed by Nicolay.
