PIN GRADING
Please note that enamel pins are manufactured by hand, so slight flaws may occur and I also have different grading policies from other pin makers/artists
A Grade / Standard Grade - They are close to perfect, but may still exhibit minor imperfections not visible at first glance and are mostly only available under certain angles/light. These could be minor flaws such as:
- tiny air bubbles
- tiny spec of dust in a non-central part of the design
- small scuffing
- light scratches on the enamel metal
- slight underfill, overfill, or uneven areas
B Grade/ Seconds Grade - These pins have noticeable flaws that become obvious if you looked at in normal light and at arm's length. These pins have flaws such as:
- scratches or chips in the metal or paint specs of dust
- paint splatter..etc
- missing metal lines
- multiple air bubbles in the enamel
- missing enamel or a small portion of the pin
Mixed Grade - This is either A or B grade.
We are not a harsh pin grader and we don't sell collector grade pins. So please expect some minor flaws.
