question about yin yang icon

[shellymo]

It looks like pin 193 but the stamp on the back says 2008. real or fake? traded for it in WDW in 2009 before I even knew about fakes. Looks like a good pin, heavy, good color, etc.
I am adding a pic of front and back, how do I make it smaller?

Perhaps it was re-issued in 2008? Don't some pins get re-released every now and then?

I was wondering about that. I looked in pinpics and they do not list this date or mention it in the comments section.

hard to tell with out having it in my hand. I would ask if anyone has it and can look at the back for you. I think the back of that pin looks a little off on the logo..but i could b wrong. On sum fakes. the back stamp is more rased or sticks up. The stamp on the one you have seems to b very thick. but thats why i would ask if others have it the same way. If you find that the others are smooth and not rased. than you know its bad...can check on date also...but i would start with the logo

Thanks for the advice on the raised logo. I did take this one and compare to a few other pins from 2008 with the same logo and this one is a bit more raised. I guess it may be fake. It has a good memory though, traded it walking away from DHS on our last day in 2009 when I wanted ears/icon pins. It will go in my keep pile and not be traded to anyone. My goal is to know the authenticity of my newer and older pins the best that I can. thanks for your help!
