Lucky find, Persian gold collectable

I am really amused by the find of Persion relic and the article that appeared on Yahoo! News today. As Yahoo! put it:

'An ancient gold cup mysteriously acquired by an English scrap metal dealer is expected to fetch close to a million dollars at auction after languishing for years in a shoe box under its current owner's bed. ' I am quoting this statement from their website. Here is the link: Childhood 'toy' revealed as ancient Persian relic

Webber told the paper that his grandfather had a good eye for collecting antiques, but what's really amusing is he then turned around and gave the article to a child to play with. Hit me again: that's cute.

When does it go up on Ebay? We'll see!!
