An old toy soldier in a box caught the family’s eye when they noticed gemstones fitted into it. After taking it from jeweler to jeweler. They figured out that the toy dated back to the Russian Empire!

The family could feel the sweat on their palms, the auction had just started. They couldn’t believe the price that the toy had already shot up to.

Bids were back and forth like crazy until a bid over the phone from a collector crushed every other bid there – a whopping 6 million dollars!
