This slab is getting more attention than, say, an 1804 dollar.

currently 3,600 USA $ for something that isn't worth 1$..Why, Why, Why? I personally never see any upside, unless the story is true..Would only ever hold some value for Fred..

I wonder what this cricket will look like in 100 years!
Because of this cricket is so valuable to some, I am thinking about ditching coins to become an entomologist.

looks like its made of gold which could substantially raise the value.

The buyer will probably pay for it with his Covid checks.

Seems appropriate to end this on Halloween! Clearly some people have too much money on their hands...

It makes me wonder how many more surprises are in store at the locations where the folk who grade the coins would decide to 'slab' another cute item, say another bug, a button they happened to find on the floor, a paperclip, etc?

Well it didn't hit my guess of close to the $10K mark but $6,000 is a lot of money for a dead cricket squashed in some plastic tomb.
