About Pin Grading

DISCLAIMER: Enamel pins are all handmade by my manufacturer(s). There are NO perfect pins as each one might have very small flaws to very noticeable ones. Therefore, please read our quality policy.

Pin grading

Grade A: nearly flawless and the best of the lot, (As the pins are handmade, there is no 100% perfect pins, even A grade pin. small or minor flaws may be visible if you examine under light and tilt at various angles)

Grade B: may contain a small or minor flaw when viewed head-on and small flaws when viewed at an angle in a light

Grade C: may contain several small noticeable flaws

pin post came bent, scratches/flaws on the side and back of the pin

Any flaws on the side and back of the pins do not count towards the grading policy as these flaws are not noticeable when you wear them, and/or have on display on your pinboards. The only flaws that would be counted are if there are deep scratch marks, or peeling metal plating, on the side that is affecting the front of the pin. This might be something I have missed or something that happened during shipping.
