✿ All enamel pins are made by hand and individually filled and polished by workers, therefore some of them can have imperfections. The more defects a pin may show, the cheaper it will be.

A Grades

These pins are almost perfect and I say almost because they are handmade and there is no such thing as a perfect pin, but they are the best of the batch.

✿ Small scratches or scuffs on the metal or enamel, barely noticeable.  

✿ Minor imperfections in metal plating, barely noticeable.

✿ Slightly noticeable specks/dot or darkened specks in glitter areas on pins with glitter, this is expected variation in glitter pins.

✿ Faint/light and small dot or small smudge on enamel, barely noticeable

B Grades

These pins come with little flaws. 

✿ Superficial bubbles/speckles/pores on enamel

✿ Slightly underfill, overfill, or uneven fill of enamel that only noticeable at a certain angle/lighting

✿ Scruffs on the side or back of pin (NOT the front)

✿ Slightly misaligned screenprinting

C Grades

These pins come with more noticeable flaws than A and B, and will be sold at a discount. They may contain at least one or more of the following:

✿ Intermediate and noticeable black dot, small smudge, or bubble on enamel

✿ Some area of missing plating and/or deep scratches on the metal across the pin

✿ More noticeable underfill, overfill, or uneven fill of enamel

✿ Very misaligned or missing screenprinting in pins that have screenprint

Seconds

These pins come with major flaws that I rather give them a home than simply tossing them away. They are sold at a large discount.
