Pulled this out of a fujitsu SP-PRI Video Conference Controller . Don't know if I take I can even remove those from the board yet. I found a similar picture of the larger cpu for reference. Not sure what grade cpu it would be.

Me. Personally. No. I have not seen one. As in. I have not had 1 in my hand. But. I can and you can. "See 1" Through using the "information highway". Get information on your CPU. Many sources available. Enough said. I evaluate the pictured CPU. LSI,Nec,Foreign gold cap category. As opposed to Cyrix/IBM/K5/Win chip/VIA Gold chip. Why? Density of pins. Gold cap.‐‐--------- as a sidenote. The amount of address and data lines. It just gives a little more info. Ah. Yes. Date of manufacturer.
But. Before I close my post. Your CPU is considered a highly collectable CPU. .Look on ebay for resale. Also. My opinion. If you remove the processor. For resale. Antistatic methods. Wrist strap. Anti static foam.
Here to learn like everybody else.
My evaluations are my own.

Too to be short and sweet. You can just submit the PCB as Gold Cap. AKA. Over and done with.

Socketed in or soldered?

If all the ceramics are socketed, pull them out and verify there's a gold cap on yours (you never know). Then you can weigh everything to see if it's worth more to put 1 or 2 or 3 or all 4 back in to sell as gold cap chip board and sell any remaining CPUs separately.

Soldered, drill a small hole (or two to see through) on the opposite side of the board to verify gold cap. Likely don't remove any if soldered cause the soldered pins will downgrade the CPUs.
