So last week, on a whim, I bought this pin, when it popped up for BIN 9.95. At the time I looked, I could only find one other one for sale, but now that it showed up today, I've found that several more have been sold by the same seller. And that seller is a known counterfeit seller, and then another known counterfeiter has one for sale too. I figured it was cheap enough, that I could "take one for the team." And pending investigation, we could add it to the list, since there is no counterfeit/scrapper warning on Pinpics for this pin, nor any comments.

The pin looks really good, good colors, smooth, glossy surface, no dips. I'd think it was a good pin, if it wasn't for one distinguishing feature. It has a black metal base. The listing for this set on Pinpics says it should be a gold finish.

Can someone confirm that the actual pin has a gold back?

The only other thing that looks different, is I think the green in the vine and leaves is maybe darker than it should be, but I've never seen the real one in person.
 
I think Jabberwockey has it in her collection. So you might want to ping her. I would be very interested in seeing pictures of yours and hers side by side.

I can not believe that this pin flew under my radar. Great catch!!

From your PM to me, I know the sellers who offer this pin are bad news :( DPF - ye be warned !!! LOL ....
