Identifying The Original Lincoln Cents Roll

By original roll, I assume you mean an old roll that was made at a bank. There's really no way to tell and it's easy to reproduce and distress it to look old. I suppose you could carbon date the paper, but that would be a bit extreme. If you bought it on ebay, you can pretty much count on it not being old.

I collect a lot of "OBW" Rolls, I did a lot of research on them they are hard to find and easy to fake. I read a lot of feed back and if the rolls are cheap enough I buy two and open one just to see if it is a roll with all the same dates and they are nice coins, but it doesn't mean they are OBW rolls. I find someone that I watched and read good feed back on. Plus the rolls change color from older to newer rolls but again you can find and buy old rolls paper. Your not gonna find a OBW roll of 1972 in a String & Son wrapper. I am not expert on anything so this is just my 2cents......... l0l
