The numbers and letters aren't even close to the picture I have of a real MN block. Compare the &quot;T&quot;, &quot;0&quot; and especially the &quot;M&quot;. They are also too straight and too deep plus as Rich stated, the broach marks suck. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

In your known good &quot;MN&quot; block I notice that the &quot;0&quot; has straight sides with only the top and bottom edges being rounded off. In the eBay one, the entire number is rounded.
As well, all the fonts appear just a little off without even considering the VIN date issue.
