Washington: A 223-year-old personal copy of the US Constitution belonging to America's founding president George Washington has sold for around $10 million, Christie's auction house has said.
The leather-bound book, with the first president's own annotations, was printed in 1789, his first year in office, BBC reported.
It had an estimated price of $2 million-$3 million, but bidding boosted the price of the book.
Experts said Washington's notes were what make the book so valuable.
