Howdy friends!
I sent this really nice $5 piece to our hosts and then on to Great Collections.
PCGS said XF details which I agree with. It's a beautiful example with original skin and in my opinion looks much nicer than most examples out there!
XF price guide is $16k and this beauty is a bargain at $4,000. Feel free to bid early and often! ![]()

What were they thinking 🤔
A couple reasonable comments were offered - I think one of these this is likely what happened.
