I'd go along with what Steve says, however I've found strong restrikes and weaker originals in both the badges and slider.
Another myth is that genuine badges were always perfect but again I've had or seen them with voids missing, rough edges, crooked sliders, etc, etc.
Buying badges is down to experience and even the most knowledgable still get duped from time to time even more so when you buy without handling them but then again it's amazing what bargains you can sometimes get when you take a chance.
