One of five year 1818 King James Bibles found
Michael Hoskins says he’s been offered $900 for a Bible he found at the dump in Danville, Virginia (USA), but he believes it’s worth much more than that.
Hoskins says he found the 188-year-old King James Bible in four pieces, which he has since reassembled.
The sheepskin-covered book was printed in Pittsburgh in 1818 and, according to Hoskins’ research, is one of less than half a dozen copies in existence.
While otherwise intact, the Bible appeared to have fire damage and had watermarks on some of its inner pages.
In his words, “This Bible has made it through a lot. I am going to hold on to it for now. I will sell for the right price, but $900 isn’t realistic.”
