John Webber and the gold cup under the bed

John Webber. He's an English guy who had hung onto a cup that his junk dealer grandfather bought in the 1930s. One day he took it out from under the bed and decided to get it examined. It turns out to be made of gold, a Persian artifact about 1,700 years old, and decorated with the face of a Roman god. He got $100,000 at auction.

i would think it would be worth more than that

Me too. $100,000.00 seems awful cheap for a gold Persian artifact that is 1700 years old.
