Hello, I am fairly new to this wonderful hobby and recently aquired a small collection from a friend. In it was pin 16159: DLR - Indiana Jones The Temple of the Forbidden Eye. I know that their is a bootleg version of this pin. However, mine matches the detail of the real thing "MADE IN CHINA" on back, no metal between the whip and the body of the pin and " The Temple of the Forbidden Eye" on front. The question comes from the year in the pin trading logo on the back, it is 2004. Doses anyone know if there was a version from this year or is this a different fake. All help appreciated.

Hi and Welcome!!
As that is an open edition pin, it was likely rereleased in years following its original release n 2002. So yes, that pin could have any year on it from 2002 through and including the present. Hope that helps, and again, Welcome!!

Wow, what a prompt response. Thank you for the information it clarifies what I had read. I thought that might be the case but was not sure I understood
correctly. When reading about a pin on pinpics does public mean the same as open edition?

 No, public refers to the pin's availability and public indicates
that it is available to anyone. Other types in this catagory would include Cast Member or Special Event, etc
To determine an open edition pin on Pinpics, look at the "Limited Edition" section. If "no" is listed, than the pin is open edition.

Hey there OMF... welcome - yadda, yadda, yadda. Those "open edition" pins (OE) are also referred to as "rack pins" and "core"
pins, too. Happy posting - and trading!
