The £20m Faberge Easter egg that was nearly melted for scrap
A Faberge Easter egg has been sold for around £20m - after nearly being melted down for scrap metal.
A US metal dealer bought the egg for $14,000 (about £8,000) and only realised its value after reading a newspaper article.
That article was written by BBC reporter Roya Nikkhah, who looks back at the egg's history.
