Chicken McNugget More Expensive than Gold Nugget

Here's Rebekah Speight's story in her own words:

"Approximately 3 years ago, I treated my children to “99 cent McNugget Tuesday” and play time at our local McDonald’s. As I was cleaning up, I noticed one particular nugget and began to laugh. I picked it up for a closer look, and sure enough it was in the likeness of President George Washington. I decided to take it home and show my husband this hysterical find.
When he arrived home, I pulled it out of the freezer and he could not believe his eyes. We shared a moment of laughter as we joked about putting it on Ebay. Then back in the freezer it went.
This “President George Washington Chicken McNugget” became a show and tell item for friends and family who came to visit, and all have responded with awe and laughter over this remarkable find. We have shared many laughs over this “President George Washington Chicken McNugget”, but now he has been called to a higher purpose.
The students of Family Worship Center in Sioux City, Iowa are in the process of trying to raise $15,000 for Church Camp this summer. My husband and I felt led to auction this “President George Washington Chicken McNugget”as part of our fundraising effort. 100% of the money raised will go to Family Worship Center in Sioux City, Iowa.  
By bidding on this rare “President George Washington Chicken McNugget”… not only will you have an opportunity to be the new owner of this rare find, but you will be investing in the lives of children."

     The bidding closed today at a whopping $8,100 and is more expensive than a nugget of gold the same size - all because of it's Resemblance!
