Does this pin have known fakes?

[Shannon]

Was wondering if this pins has fakes that anyone knows about? The seller has 2, which is plausible, but they also have a bunch of other pins that have been scrapped. Just curious because I want it lol.

Pin 86517: WDI- Characters Sorcerers - Evil Queen

The sold listings don't point to counterfeits, but I see a few notorious sellers who currently have it up for sale, so a little suspicion might be healthy...maybe ask the seller where (s)he got it?

I took the chance...it was just a few dollars so I will see what it looks like when it gets here. If its bad, its going back.

I just saw this pin on sale from a well-known scrapper seller

scrapper sellers make me sad! :cry:

I usually message sellers and politely ask if I could see a clear picture of the front and back. It's the only thing you can really do!

I have seen a few suspects of this pin. Usually has a weird milky like coating on it, dull finish. Not sure if they are fakes or if they are just poorly kept and got corroded or something.

I'll post pictures when it comes in...my gut feeling says it will be no good...maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.

OK, so the pin came. When I took it out of the envelope, first scrapper warning, little plastic baggie. The pin itself looks fine. Fairly shiny, no dips or brushmarks. I can't tell by the weight, I am a bad judge at that. There is a slight border around the back imprint. I kind of think it's a fake but I am just not sure. DOes anyone have a legit of this pin they can post a pic of? I will post a pic of mine in the morning.
