About Grading
[ABOUT GRADING]
- Standard Grade Pins are handmade items and can vary from unit to unit. Very few pins are perfect, A grades or standards are scrutinized primarily on their facing surface (the front or design side of the pin) and are graded on a curve. The sides of the pins are scrutinized to a much lower degree, and the back of the pins are not scrutinized except with regards to the posts and the back stamp. Generally, these are pins that have some minor faults to them. Some of these minor faults include...
- small, but noticeable, air bubbles
- small, but noticeable, enamel under fill
- some light imperfections in the metal plating
- surface scuffing or light scratches on the enamel or metal
- B Grade/Seconds Grade These pins have noticeable flaws, some more minor or major than others. Some of the flaws that would qualify a pin as a B grade include...
- noticeable or multiple areas of under filled enamel
- moderately scuffed enamel or metal
- multiple points of imperfections on the metal plating
- multiple air bubbles in the enamel *missing metal lines
- missing enamel on a small portion of the pin
- nicks on the enamel or metal
