I am hoping someone can help me authenticate some HM pins I have come across:
PIN 58999 WDW - HIDDEN MICKEY 2007 SERIES 2 - FAST PASS SERIES - EXPEDITION EVEREST http://www.pinpics.com/pin.php?pin=58999
What makes me nervous is that it feels a little thin and the back description doesn't match what is on www.pinpics.com for it. There is says back will have "made in china" while mine only has "china."
I am also nervous as it is responds immediately to a magnet and I think I remember reading somewhere that that is a sign of a fake/scrapper.
If anyone has one that they know is real can they investigate these two questions?
PIN 102252 WDW - 2014 HIDDEN MICKEY SERIES - UP HOT AIR BALLOONS - DUG http://pinpics.com/pin.php?pin=102252
I want to believe this one is real, but am new to pins and HM makes me super cautious, especially as I traded for this one off of a CM lanyard which I am now learning are notorious for fakes/scrappers and the stamps on the back are off-centered.
Any help that could be given would be greatly appreciated!
The fast pass pins are notoriously scrapped. It feels lighter than it should and the dots on the front aren't uniform (the 6:55 dots look thinner than the 5:55 dots).
Dug looks right, coloring and thickness of the lines wise. He's newer, which means less chances of getting a scrapper at this time. It has two nubs and the Mickeys on the back look correct.

That is what has me worried, too. Everything else looks and feels right about it but that. I do know I have read some people say the quality of some pins has gone down a bit recently so am wondering if this might have slipped through the inspectors hands.
Maybe someone here has one that is authentic and can share their thoughts.

Awesome! Am quite anxious to confirm that this is real. I see it has a lot of wants on pinpics and I am not necessarily attached to it so wouldn't mind to try to make my first trade!
