Product Grading Scale

Enamel Pins

Please keep in mind, every pin is handmade! I do not sell perfect/collector grade pins since they rarely ever will be "perfect". See below for our quality grading scale! 

- Standard Pins -

Standard Grade is the best grade I offer and the closest to perfect! Pins will not contain any major imperfection, but can have minor ones such as:

  • Minor superficial marks or scratches on metal or enamel when only seen under certain lighting/ angling the pin
  • Minor superficial specs, bubbles, pores, dots
  • Minor scuffs or discoloration on side of pin
  • Very slightly underfilled enamel
  • Slightly misaligned screen print ( on screen printed pins ) 
  • Random off-color/dark glitter or a speck in a glitter area
  • Imperfections on the back of the pin

- Seconds Pins - 

Seconds Pins have more noticeable flaws on them! ( Usually 1-2 ), and are sold at a discounted price. Imperfections may include:

  • Small misprint of color
  • Small black dots
  • Missing enamel in a small detailed spots
  • Heavily noticeable imperfections on metal 
  • Misaligned, miscolored or missing screen print
  • Noticeable scratches or scuffs

- C Grade Pins - 

Pins with VERY noticeable flaws/defects

  • Large and noticeable enamel missing, stains or dots
  • Heavy overflow of enamel
  • Heavily noticeable imperfection/staining in metal
  • Broken/Missing/Bent Posts
  • Deep scratches and marks
