3. His lack of invisibility may indicate that is a lesser ring
He could of stolen it from the dwarves when he attacked Moria for their abundant natural resources.

Alternatively it could be one of the nine rings of men, which would make * a nazghul puppet to Sauron(Cheney).

7. No its the One Ring
but he is so insubstantial that if he became invisible he would cease to exist completely. Since the Ring magnifies and twists the powers of the user it doesn't effect him at all.

4. Fake
I Photoshop stuff for a living. Look closely. The reflected light is different on the enlargement that it is in the wide-view photo. Furthermore, in the wide-view, the light source on the ring is from the bottom, though the room is plainly lit from the ceiling. Of course, the bottom-lighting of the ring could be the reflection of the papers beneath his* hand, but it still looks phony to my eye.

12. agree, though.
Well, I don't do photoshop for a living, and actually don't do it, but the ring is in a different place on the inset. On the inset, the ring is right up against the hand. On the regular pic, it is closer to being in the middle of that part of the finger. It is especially noticable if you look at the ring in both compared to the pinky. Just my $0.001...Kevin.
