♥ ENAMEL PIN GRADING SYSTEM ♥

WHAT IS A STANDARD GRADE PIN?
All enamel pins are of standard quality unless stated other wise. Standard grade pins are the best quality pins that we have to offer. This does not mean that it is 100% flawless. It is just the best option of what we have in stock. Please keep in mind that enamel pins are handmade therefore it is normal for standard pins to have very minor flaws and imperfections but are still very wearable and collectible. 

STANDARD PINS MAY INCLUDE:
- tiny random specs of dirt on enamel or glitter
- superficial scratching of enamel or metal plating
- imperfect metal plating (may also be present on the sides or back)
- slight under fill of enamel paint
- small pin size prick air bubbles
- all small flaws only seen upon close inspection or special lighting

WHAT IS A SECOND GRADE PIN?
Second grade enamel pins can have multiple flaws that are more noticeable than standard grade pins and are slightly discounted. Flaws differ from each pin and cannot be shown individually. These will be chosen at random. By purchasing a flawed product, you agree to accept the item AS IS and no refunds will be provided.

SECOND GRADE PINS MAY INCLUDE:
- random specs of dirt, dust, glitter, fibers
- scratching on enamel or metal plating
- imperfect metal plating all around
- missing metal plating
- slight tarnish of metal plating
- air bubbles
- under fill or uneven enamel
- wrong color enamel
- missing enamel
- slightly peeling enamel 
- missing screen print
- misaligned screen printing
- many more

WHAT IS A C GRADE PIN?
C grade pins are considered worse than "second grade" and are heavily discounted. They share the same traits as second grade but are way more noticeable. Flaws differ from each pin and cannot be shown individually.  These pins are chosen at random. By purchasing a flawed product, you agree to accept the item AS IS and no refunds will be provided.
