A Question On Prototype Pins

[leopardpolkadotspots]

Hello

I am referring to my pin:

Pin 83152: Disney Auctions - Lion King Character Set #2 (Adult Nala) Silver Prototype


I believe to have a prototype pin as the back of the pin is a silver colour instead of black.

But it still says on the back LE100. Is this common on prototype pins? Or should it say LE 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 etc?

Please let me know

Thank you.

No I've had some before and they never said Le 1 3 or 4 just the color on the back makes it a prototype..

Thanks, Pauly88.

Is there any way that I can find out how many Silver Prototypes were made?

 

[pauly88]

Usually in the old disney auction days they sold 4 of them making them Le 4
OK take this pin The le 100 is black on the back the gold and silver prototypes`are Le 4
Unlike the Disneyshopping Le 1 ap sets they're stamped AP on the back here is an example below of how the Disney auction ones worked

This pin is the Prototype of the base color- Black. It is a prototype for Pin 26226. It is a limited edition to LE4. This prototype pin preceded the actual run of the final gold "Lilo and Stitch #8" pin LE 100, which could only be purchased from Disney Auctions.

*Note* you rarely find these slips maybe folks trashed them who knows.

So JJ is correct

sorry to jump in here, but are like artist proofs and prototypes etc, generally worth more for trading value then say the regular pin, is it like something to point out when trading?

Depends on the pin and or who it is but let me tell you there more rare then most pins but sometimes the le 100 could more scarce
So all in all it as I said it depends.

I actually bought this Nala pin thinking it was the LE100 as that was how it was advertised. Won it at a bargain as well, then found out it was a prototype
