At first glance it looked genuine , right size and plain back , but on very close inspection I am sure it is a fake. I have personally seen and handled four 2006 pins , have also seen and handled at least a dozen other early dated (2007-2010) pins and they are all identical so I'm sure this isn't a genuine one.
Plenty of bidders , so price shot up but someone is going to get a surprise /shock when it arrives.
This is the first time I have spotted such a “good” fake and worry that more will start appearing on eBay.
As they say - "Buyer Beware" !

A second fake 2006 poppy pin has just gone for
£102 + £2.99 postage !
There is a third one with starting bid at £30.00 which finishes tomorrow.
I'm guessing there is a batch of them around and more will start to appear , a lot of people are going to end up disappointed and out of pocket.
