* Fake Pin *

[tinkerbelle1956]

came across this at a yard sale a few years back . The guy said he had been to the DS UK and traded with a cast member . Can't find it on pin pics , so my guess is its a fake, but I like it .

It looks exactly like this pin. Could it be that the color was removed or never placed on?

Pin 74135: Disney Store Europe - Dory from (Finding Nemo)

thats what I'm thinking, so could it be an error ?

 

[tinkerbelle1956]

I don't think the color was removed . It's a smooth gold .

Perhaps a color error?

Thats the only pin I can find that matches it . So do I have a rare pin ? Excuse the ignorance, but still learning . I have it locked on my keeper lanyard . I paid 50 cents for it . :lol:

My Dad found one of these on a lanyard at WDW. I'm not sure when, but when I was there, I went through his container of "pins he couldn't find on Pinpics." I think it's a true scrapper (as opposed to counterfeit). Maybe something where the enamel fell out during production or was never added. But I wouldn't classify it as an error pin.

taken from dizpinboards.com:
2) Legitimate Disney pins often have coloring variations that can be noticeable. This happens because of new production runs, manufacturing errors, etc. Pins can also have goofs such as missing enamel or mis-colored sections I have gotten both of these errors direct from Disney. So these differences, while present in scrappers, do not guarantee a scrapper.

I also got one of these pins at DLR from a CM lanyard in Feb. and it looks just like the OP pin,
