Gold Egg Bought for Scrap worth $33 Million

[FC-Treasure]

Congrats to whoever scored on this one.

Scrap metal find turns out to be $33 million Faberge golden egg - CNN.com

The man, who hails from the Midwest but wishes to remain anonymous, had been left financially stretched after he apparently overestimated what the tiny golden egg would be worth once melted down. He'd been hoping to make $500.
...
His search brought up a 2011 article in Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper describing a "frantic search" for the object: the Third Imperial Easter Egg, made by Faberge for the Russian royal family and estimated to be worth 20 million pounds ($33 million).

I actually saw a Faberge exhibit at the Houston Natural History Museum last week. Pretty cool.
