Be nice to find one of these dogs in a cwr, huh? :P

(note the well placed Portland Mint ad)
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
- Thomas Gray, 1747

The auction result for this, according to most reports was pretty disappointing. Much less than the expected 1.7 million.
