No, he has a copy-- but he got convinced it was the original, just like he got convinced the Photoshop was real, and once he is wrong he can never be convinced he is wrong (fortunately in this case).

From the beginning, the founders wanted the Declaration to be available to everyone. They commissioned prints for the delegates.
