Hello,

So...there are a couple of things I'm asking about here:

While adding my collection to PinPics the other day, this was the only one I couldn't find. It looks and feels "real" but I couldn't find it. The stamp says 2005, but whether looking at all the "disneyland" pics for 2005 or doing other searches for things like "disneyland castle" or "disneyland mickey friends" I just couldn't find it. It's possible I'm just blind and/or a knucklehead, but does this look familiar to anybody?

And then the 2nd question is about this. I have a bunch of these "Atlas series" pins that I'm assuming are fake / not legit. The metal of the large part of the pin is very thin, silver colored, and smooth on the back, and the info on the back is just printed rather than stamped. The pin-on-pin part looks more like what I'd expect from a Disney pin. I figured I'd ask though just to make sure.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The second pin is this one and looks like what pinpics has... Some of the older pins have the smooth backs. I don't see any scrapper warnings, but I am not fully familiar with that pin

Oh, yeah, sorry, I didn't have trouble identifying the Atlas series pins on PinPics, I was just curious if anybody who has a real one for sure can tell me if this looks real or if it's a forgery / fake.

Much appreciated!

The first pin is this.. it was released in 2003, but was an OE so I have seen them change dates on some of the OE stuff.. however, there is a scrapper warning on this pin... so I don't know about yours specifically
 
The Atlas pins are real, just old and different. There are many different processes to make pins and there are Disney pins made with every process.
 
Hi...thanks! Just to clarify, you're saying that's how the real Disney Atlas pins look? Again, much appreciated!
