Hi everyone!

 

I recently had some pins gifted to me by a friend, and would love some help in checking their authenticity. As they were gifted, I don't have the backing cards for any of them. My friend can't remember where they were purchased from or when they were purchased. 

 

The 3 pins that I would like help checking the authenticity of are: Lilo - Ice cream mystery (PP129804), Pluto - ice cream mystery (PP130017) and Captain America - Marvel - Kawaii Art Mystery Collection 1 (PP109954). 

 

Lilo - Ice cream mystery (PP129804)

When looking at the back of this pin, I find it very difficult to make out any digits in the date to show the year it was produced. 

 

Captain America - Marvel - Kawaii Art Mystery Collection 1 (PP109954)

The small mark that is above Cap's lip has come off now that I have cleaned the pin again. 

 

Pluto - ice cream mystery (PP130017)

On this pin, I can read the year is 2018 when angled under the light. There is a small 'overspill?' on the bottom right of the ice cream itself, which makes me unsure of this pin. 

 

Thanks in advance for your help 🙂

I'm not sure about Captain America, but I think the two ice cream pins are fake.  The edges are sloppy and they appear to be soft enamel.

I totally agree with @sithathoriunet that the ice cream one are fake. The colors are also off. The Captain America is not from Shanghai if it is from the Marvel - Kawaii Art Mystery Collection 1. So I believe it is also fake.
