The number looks a bit strange, and the hammer and sickle is a bit bent, I think its ok however.

Chris,

It's perfectly genuine and it's not unusual to see those H&S bent like this.

Rusty,

It's just the unusual color patina. They don't fake this variation, the gold is too expensive.

look like perfectly genuine...If you're a bit paranoid, weight them and check the gold, it must be 14k (583/1000): it must resist to acid for 10-12k and disapear for acid at 18k (I have the jeweler acid kit).

Majorpayne,

They don't fake these variations yet, but I have seen one piece with gold "sunburst" replaced with brass replica. As Charlet said, yours are perfectly genuine.

I've got two informations regarding the material used for the 1985 issue. One source talks about silver-plated metal and the other of real silver (sterling). Are these really made from real silver/gold-plated silver (1st class)? Thanks for any replies!
