Pin grading info

Remember that enamel pins are hand made, there is no such thing as a perfect pin! 🧡

I do not grade the sides and back of a pin, as these are not viewed when displayed.

Standard grade - the best of the batch. No obvious marks or pin pricks, well aligned screen print. There may still be small flaws in big sections of enamel.

min flawed - some marks/scratches in the enamel, slight misalignment on screen print, specks and flecks in the enamel 

major flawed - obvious at first look scratches or marks in the enamel, misaligned screen print, noticeable flecks/blobs of the wrong colour or a combination of these. For

no grade - these are pins with obvious errors at a glance. these could be badly aligned screen print, major enamel issues, or very bad scratches. there will be a photo of each one on the listing so you're aware of the flaws.
