Not too concerned about this one. Initially, the top of that GEM tag getting cut off was a concern, but it's certainly not the common GEM fake floating around right now. And I have seen legit ones like this, we have 3 in our archives.

I was also able to find several others on GEM tags.

Two other interesting things to note -

1. The fact that there is white shading on the back Cranberries logo is less seen. I found about 10 online and only one other like that.

2. The dates on the back also vary, either start with April or August.

grateful to get an input from the man himself mr jimmy j :D .

also, you mentioned about "The fact that there is white shading on the back Cranberries logo is less seen". does this mean that what i have is the rarer variant?

It seems that way - but not a huge sample size. I looked at about 10 different ones, only two of them had that shading.
