Dennis,

I have a Blown up Picture of the Smooth Lion, & see a variation of the one on E Bay. There is a visable gap between the Rim,& MGM Grand lettering,on the smooth one,a Rough Strike,is almost touching. Looks like the Giveaway is the Eye is Round or smooth on top,of a real smooth Lion,where as the Rough issue has a slight Point on top. The entire face of the Picture Looks weak,or buffed.
