Every pin is unique! Every enamel pin is manufactured by hand, therefore, not every pin will look perfect and slight flaws may occur.

Please read below how I personally grade my pins. When you are selecting your grade it is important you are aware of the flaws that may occur.

A-grade pins (standard)

A-grade pins are the best of the batch and the highest quality pins I offer. 

Close to perfect but may still exhibit minor imperfections not visible at first glance, and are mostly only visible under certain light and angles. These could be minor flaws such as:

• Small scratches or scuffs on surface and on printing

• Small pores/bubbles or small specks dust on enamel

• Slight low fill/overfill

• Slight discoloration

• Tiny area with a miss-colour, in an area that isn't the focal point.

• Slight wiggle on post (stress tested to ensure the posts wont fall off).

B-grade pins

B-grade pins seem fine at first glance, but under close inspection you can see some minor imperfections. These are perfect for people that don't need a mint condition pin, but just really want the design or want to wear the pin.

They can have flaws such as:

• Scratches or chips in the metal or the paint

• Large/multiple specs of dust, small paint splatter or air bubbles embedded in the paint

• Small areas of underfilled or missing paint

• Discoloration of metal or enamel

• Gaps of missing paint or wrong colour paint

• Wiggle on post (stress tested to ensure the posts wont fall off)

C-grade pins

C-grade pins have more noticable imperfections than B-Grade pins.

B & C-grade pins are non-refundable or returnable.
