An Illinois resident scored a thrift store find that can’t be beat. After purchasing a plate for $4.99 at Goodwill, carpet cleaner John Carcerano discovered it was worth way more than that. Carcerano found out that the piece of porcelain, which was initially hidden by a more contemporary piece, was an 18th-century Chinese armorial export plate.

A man spent $5 on a vintage Chinese armorial plate from the 18th century at a thrift store that turned out to be worth $5,000.
