Ok, so this isn’t a cheap find, but it’s an amazing one. A scrap metal dealer found this egg in a flea market and wanted to purchase it for the gold. He was going to melt it down, but then decided to have it checked out first. Turns out it’s one of the 43 out of 50 Faberge Imperial Eggs that are still in existence, and the appraisal is just a lowball. The actual owner’s now dropped out of sight and no one knows if he’s sold it or is keeping it protected until a later date.
