[QUOTE="robec, post: 4209622, member: 19094"]Here are photos of 3 dangling tear drops from the 4, courtesy of CoinFacts. Note the position from where the drop falls compared to what I believe you are referring to in yours. On the authentic SMS coins the drop starts near the end of the crosslet. Yours starts not near the end buy beyond the end.

Yours does have some sort of marking between the letters, but it's curved. Since all SMS halves came from the same die, they must match.
