between the spokes it will say

" PRESS PROCESSED "
" MUGEN "
" MF8 "

and something else.

Real MF8's are light flatish bronze color that has its own natural shine.

Fake MF8's are a darker bronze that has a clear coat shine

Same goes for Silver color.

it's lifted, not engraved. You can tell the diference between real bronze and paint fairly easy too.

ok, so they're not MF8's, but the embossed writing should be the same around the outer edge.. the following pic is of a real MF10..
