Did the finger come off when the charger exploded?

I'm sure the image posted doesn't have an exploded charger that could indicate why the comment you replied to was made!

To any potential buyers keep in mind that if the phone ever goes dead or is restarted do I need the PIN

Biometrics is good for identification, not authentication.

This is why.

This is a meme. If you actually tried to use the severed finger, it wouldn't work.

huh TIL.

Radio frequency -- RF waves do not respond to the dead layer of skin on the outside of your finger -- the part that might be chapped or too dry to be read with much accuracy -- and instead reads only the living tissue underneath. This produces an extremely precise image of your print, and ensures that a severed finger is completely useless.... This means that the Touch ID sensor should be remarkably accurate for living creatures, but it also means that only a finger attached to a beating heart will be able to unlock it. source
