Is someone making it appear old and using nice end coins to lure in bidders?
Nailed it...
2 marginal end coins (probably cleaned)
18 well circulated middle coins
An unused old paper wrapper (or a reproduction of same)
You can buy the coins at any coin show - there will be piles of them for 15 20 25 maybe XFs at 35. If they seed with honest [an honest crook, go figure] MS60 Morgans, maybe 55 or 60 each.
So it's something other than the wrapper you could assemble for $500 (or less) at any coin show or LCS.
