Because jade is such a hard medium and doesn't change with age, it is extremely difficult to separate originals from high quality fakes. If there are a number of old fakes in circulation, it's very doubtful that experts could ever agree that the original had been found - especially with so much at stake.

That seal had been lost since year 938 because an Emperor burned himself and his family with it. The seal was likely destroyed. In 228 BC, The first emperor of China conquered a powerful neighboring kingdom and gained the kingdom’s most treasured jade. The emperor later ordered to make the jade into the heirloom seal to signify his victory and authorities. This piece witnessed the birth of Centralization of Authority in the history of China. It was passed between emperors and dynasties for more than a thousand years.

From a historical context, if the seal ever appeared in a Western country's cache and they willingly admitted to holding it in their possession, it's HIGHLY likely that there is a near infinitesimal possibility that said artifact would ever he returned. For instance, why would the US risk handing over such an artifact to Taiwan when the current round of permanent state bros are currently still on an empire building shtick? They might offer it to Taiwan, but hold it for protection against invasion.(I could see Taiwan getting this as sufficient belligerency to push mainland China's government over the edge. But, I rather doubt that the US and other Western powers would want the headache. It could respark another direct conflict if the cultural significance is right. Now, I wasn't sure about the pricing until you mentioned the historical accounts if it being worth 15x cities. That's an interesting price point. But, there is an economic fallacy in the pricing as you were using USD (or if we used Chinese mainland money). If there was even the smallest chance that this item could sway the Chinese public to view the Taiwanese government as the legitimate successor of China as a result if this artifact, and it was enough to threaten to in any way undermine the supremacy if the PROC government, and the bidding was done in USD, the US would simply print however much was needed. Any possibility if inflation risks would be immediately recouped by the mind bottling increase in DC power at finally getting to effectively undermine Bejing, something they are going so far as to seek to weaken Russia and institute "AirSea" and the "Eastern pivot". I find it highly doubtful that the US limit in an open bid would be 1.1 trillion USD. Furthermore, this assumes that anither government wouldn't institute eminent domain or some kind of seizure policy claiming that the items and question we're legally obtained through war or some other methodology, and then just abscond with it and give it to whomever party who upon receiving said seal would directly benefit said group the most. The risk to global economic destabilization in my opinion would be astronomical, and as such, chances are that if said object exists, whether it was carded off by the Japanese during World War II or something else, that it probably won't see the light of day precisely for the risk to global markets instability.

@@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective I can answer this very easily since I know three kingdoms history very well. Supposedly how this story goes or depends on anyone I guess. A maid or someone who live in the inner palace who work with the emperor decided to take the seal and plunged herself to the well so that Dong Zhuo doesn't get his hands on it since we know the man might of have imperial ambitions later on. Anyways Sun Jian being the first to arrive there in the ruined capital found the seal on accident cuz he didn't think there be anything left in that city. So they pull it out and he found the seal like that. So how this story goes is that Sun Jian maybe wanted to go back home or give it to Yuan Shu depend on history or the novel point of view. After Sun Jian died I'm guessing the son decided that the seal was better off with Yuan Shu tbh. Besides if anyone have that seal it be a death trap because back in those ancient days possessing that seal was against heaven itself only the emperor should have it no vassals. Afterward Yuan shu declared himself emperor unfortunately he did and got his ass beat completely by everyone. The seal ended up with Cao Cao I'm guessing since there were no detail records who kept that seal afterwards. Maybe China will try to find it but doubt it considering how long it may take

Underlying it's importance is the fact that the powerful Manchu, foreign rulers, were so threatened by the possibility that the seal might turn up that they made countless decoys to throw challengers to the throne off their course. But what about the Mongols, the other foreign rulers? Since they ruled from the 11th to 13th centuries, in the time period that the seal disappeared, it seems like it could have last been in their hands....which would mean it could be anywhere in former Mongol lands, from Eastern Europe to South Asia to, of course, China. I hope you follow this story, and find out if there are people searching for this, say, in the Middle East or India. That would be a quite a lottery ticket.

Thank you for bringing up the Mongols. Seems history wants to erase Genghis and his tribe for conquering more geography than any other... I'm betting he personally smashed the seal as he never held any value for worldy possessions.

This would truly seem priceless - I don't believe any country would physically spend that much of its wealth on a singular item. Imagine if a person owned it - they would actually have to give that person that wealth.. absolutely zero chance

Presumably it was lost somewhere in mainland China, so actually getting it somewhere it could be auctioned would involve breaking a lot of international laws on the protection of antiquities.

It doesn't simply got lost, it got hidden by some lord who got his whole family kill because he didn't tell his enemy where the seal is.

Pretty sure I purchased that thing at a garage sale this past weekend. I got it for $25, and I only purchased it because it is made of jade and worth a good deal more than the $25 I spent in jade value alone.

Sell it to some Chinese Billionaire for a few hundred million. Or in reality it would sit on my desk since I'd never realise it's the real deal since I have no means of verifying it and it's very very unlikely in a random thrift shop in the UK. Even then more likely it's like £250 in a thrift shop and I simply don't buy it because it's too expensive.
