Antique appraisals seekers keen to see Lee Harvey Oswald's coffin go for $87k?
The item was sold for more than $87,000.
People looking for accurate antique appraisals might be interested to note the coffin of Lee Harvey Oswald - the man who shot former US president John F Kennedy - has gone under the hammer for more than $87,000 (£55,670).
Bidding for the item - the first coffin belonging to the murderer, who has since been reburied after his widow had him exhumed in 1981 - began at $1,000 at the Nate D Sanders Auctions sale in the US.
After the 1963 shooting in which Oswald killed the ex-US president, he was himself shot.
This comes after an Emancipation Proclamation between Robert Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln - which was signed by the latter - was sold for $3.8 million earlier this month, antique appraisals seekers might be interested to hear.
What's more, the document fetched more than double its pre-sale estimate when it went under the hammer at Sotheby's in New York.
