    Lots of lettering around VDB. Also It looks as if they are hiding something by each wheat stem/ Thoughts

    Is this a picture from ebay or something? Looks like it is.
    They are showing that the ender is a VDB. Likely though it's the more common Philly VDB but hoping to push up the sale price. Probably also a staged roll and the rest will be commons.

    If it's an auction on a website i'd bid based off that though and stop if it gets too expensive. It's likely a roll of circulated commons with a the more common philly VDB inserted on the end for the picture. Usually they will use old wrappers and put a vdb on one end and a Indian head cent on the other and 48 commons in between and hope people overpay hoping it will be an S-VDB.

    If the price is right no harm really. But unlikely it's worth more than $5-10 dollars for the philly vdb condition you'll get.

    I don't think it is faked. I am convinced it is planted though.

    Look at the paper. It's been pushed down to show the V.D.B. and both sides near the initials are not tucked in tight like they should be. That should scream "I'm not an original roll. I've been tampered with." This roll has been salted by a person with no morals.

    Edited to add: The coin is not faked but the roll has been faked.

    Its an ad from Coinbook I was considering. You're right @Collecting Nut. I was trying my best figure out what they might be hiding with that move. He also has some rolls with an ihc and a Barber Dime for enders. $75 ea. obo.

    Those rolls sound like they have been salted. It's fairly easy to stretch the paper and remove the end coin. Then you salt the end and tuck the paper back in and now you have a roll that's been salted or tampered with.

    Who is Coinbook? A Youtuber perhaps?
