January 2011 comment: My pin which i know to be real from 2002 the thin tower of the left is forward of the ramp down as well and the disney is in script.
Another note: The sand along the bottom as well with all the lines may be almost twice the size, and the scrapper version may be a lighter gold color that is less "reddish" than the authentic.
