What's The Deal With This Coin??

There is an 1879 PCGS PR64 Cameo Seated Dime listed on eBay which bidders are going crazy over as current bid is over $4,000! This should be an $800 or perhaps $900 coin. Is this a top pop coin or is it somehow unique? I'm at a total loss.

It doesn't look like an upgrade (even if it did, you can buy a PR67 for less than what it is bid). It doesn't look like a Deep Cameo.
The bidding pattern is unusual. There is a guy who put a monster bid of $3990 on it several days ago. Now -- if you are willing to pay 4x retail to buy a coin, why wouldn't you bid $4000, or a little over $4000? Very odd.
There are 76 bids on the coin, with 7 hours still to go.

No doubt, it'll get returned once the craziest one wins it and then discovers the coins real worth.

I bet the winning bidder isn't going to pay.
