27. Isaac Newton’s Copy Of De Natura Fossilium

De Natura Fossilium, first published in 1546, gives you some of the most interesting information about minerals and rocks. While you can still purchase a copy of the book, one of the most special prints in the world belonged to Sir Issac Newton.

The world could see a copy of this book as it ended up on the tv show “Pawn Stars” where an expert came in and stated it was Newton’s copy. The inside of the book held a plate that showed it came from Newton’s library, and the book contained a value of $20,000.
