512 MN Block - Legit or Re-stamp

[SuperNovaSS]

Not sure if it means anything but all the blocks he is selling seem to have pitting on the pad with uneffected stampings except a 70 396 block he has for sale. The VIN stamp on the DZ block looks very suspect.

The center peak of the letter M on the ebay block comes all the way to the bottom. The center peak on the letter M on 69PostSedans's block doesn't.

Waaay deep and strange font, throws a red flag!

I agree on all accounts..looks homemade to me.

additional stamps for comparison

Either someone thinks that they can pass that off for a huge pay day to some uneducated buyer or they dont realize that anyone that even knows what the "MN" block is will certainly validate it before buying. Now they have a 512 block that needs to be decked to get rid of that bogus stamping.

Thanks for all the images for comparison - once again the yenko.net community proves thier knowledge and abilities.

as deep as that is stamped i dont think that is going to go away even after decking.

Too deep to deck away.... Bummer, could have been a good replacement piece if left alone, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

The engine plant had several different suppliers of those stamps. When they changed the dates, the fonts would change so you can't really compare a Dec block to a June block.
Restamp, btw. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
