Pin Grading Guide
Pin Grading Scale
Please keep in mind when purchasing - Pin grading is subjective and varies from maker to maker. Since enamel pins are handmade items, they will not be 100% perfect!
Standard Pins
The highest quality of pin that I offer. These are pins that appear to be perfect within 12" inch distance.
- light marks or scratches on metal/enamel surface
- minor metal discolorations
- specks, dots, or bubbles on enamel
- low or uneven fills (not on main objects/parts)
- light Imperfections on the back side of pin
- stray glitter (on glitter pins)
Seconds Pins
Seconds pins have one or multiple flaws. Such flaws include:- smudges or scratches on enamel surface
- oxidization of the metal
- slightly loose posts/backings
- overflowing enamel fills
- completely unfilled areas
- low fills in larger or visually important areas
