It's a repo no trademark in "C" and size varied from some makers of the repo over the years. There is never an exception on the placement of the trademark " never " . Also the detail is lacking if you were to put it side by side with an original you would be amazed at the sharpness that is missing. I had the original 2-3 years ago and sold it to an advanced Tn Coke collector when you have one in hand the comparison really is not as close as we think. The sharpness of any of the repo's simply does not compare. The comparibility is that of a 1st generation photo vs a 2nd or 3rd generation copy.
