The Stack’s Bowers Official Auctions at the Whitman Baltimore Spring Expo included an extraordinary rarity: a 1936 Nobel Peace Prize discovered in a pawn shop, only the second such to come to auction.
ABC News reports:
Other Nobel awards have sold at auction, but the only Nobel Peace Prize known to have sold at auction is the 1903 medal awarded to Sir William Cremer of England, Stack’s Bowers said. It brought nearly $17,000 at Sotheby’s London in 1985.
