Lost Imperial Fabergé egg found

[Humberto]

A scrap metal dealer in the US bought the ornament for $ 13,000, intending to melt it down for its gold. He then discovered that it is one of the lost Fabergé eggs and is worth an estimated $ 33 million. About fifty such eggs were made for the Russian imperial family, of which forty-three survive.

Unbelievable ... that there are two idiots that thick they didn't realise the true value of the "egg"

Errr, why?

They're beautiful, unique, limited, and historically connected. What's not to like? Would probably buy one and have it displayed in a museum for many to appreciate.
