The "Woz" is just the lid, not the GS. The original "Woz" contained a 
Rom 0 motherboard and there were plenty of ROM 0's made without the 
"Woz" lid. Since you are running Sys 5.x then the ROM's have been 
upgraded to at least ROM 01, if it has the original motherboard. I've 
seen and had many ROM 3 IIGS' with a "Woz" lid.

The "Woz limited edition" machines are only more valuable than any other 
IIGS' to collectors, and even then the serial numbers are just as 
important as the silkscreened lid. Collectors should be careful before 
paying a premium price because over the years many "Woz" lids have found 
their way onto non-"Woz" bases or have non-"Woz" motherboards.
