Ken Griffin has acquired a second original printing of the Constitution in a private sale, with a New York display planned for the 250th anniversary of independence.

Ken Griffin has acquired a second original printing of the United States Constitution, a document purchased through a private sale for an undisclosed amount.

The document is slated to be shown in New York as part of programming tied to the 250th anniversary of American independence, according to the source summary of a New York Times Arts report.

The available report did not disclose the purchase price, the seller or the specific venue and dates for the planned display. Those details will be central to understanding how the document will be presented to the public during the anniversary year.

The acquisition places another original printing of the Constitution in public focus as museums, libraries and civic institutions prepare for commemorations of the nation’s semiquincentennial. For now, the confirmed details are limited: Griffin bought the document privately, the price has not been made public, and a New York viewing is planned.
