Disney Pin Scrapper University Part 4 - Soft Enamel Pins

Just about every Rule i know has exceptions.  Here is one to really help when looking at pins that look different on the front.  Some call this soft enamel or wet look or paint dips.  First pic you can see the pin looks sloppy.  The lines are not clear.  The colors look filled in between lines.  These are easy to spot and if you ever felt one they dont feel RIGHT

Authentic Disney pins should feel smooth with NO dips in the color and edges should also be smoothe and free of sharp edges and extra unwanted metal edges.

4th pic is an Authentic pin

5th is the pinpics.com

As you can see the fake has a totally different color then the fake also.  Pins from Hong Kong may look like wet enamel and be Authentic.  This post is just trying to help with separating some of the fakes from real on the boards here in US
