PIN GRADING

Pin Grading Guide

Enamel pins are handmade, so small flaws can happen. We sort ours into three grades—Standard, B Grade, and C Grade—to show what you’re getting. Here’s what each means:

STANDARD GRADE
These are our best pins, nearly flawless. Any issues are so small you’d barely notice, like:

  • Faint scratches or marks
  • Minor plating flaws
  • Tiny air bubbles
    Chances of seeing anything are very low. Want us to double-check? Add a note at checkout.

B GRADE
B Grade pins are good but have more noticeable flaws, such as:

  • Slightly underfilled enamel
  • Small scratches, bubbles, or dust in the enamel or print
    Note: These are sold as faulty and can’t be returned or refunded.

C GRADE
C Grade pins have obvious flaws that stand out, like:

  • Large smudges or dirt in the enamel or print
  • Missing or thin enamel
  • Wrong colors or plating
  • Clear damage or print errors
    Like B Grade, these are faulty and non-returnable/non-refundable.
