Because enamel pins are manufactured by hand, not every pin will look perfect and slight flaws may occur.

A-grade pins (standard)

A-grade pins are the best of the batch and the highest quality pins I offer. 

Close to perfect but may still exhibit minor imperfections not visible at first glance, and are mostly only visible under certain light and angles. These could be minor flaws such as:

• Small scratches or scuffs on surface

• Small pores/bubbles or faint dust on enamel

• Slight low fill/overfill

• Slight discoloration

• Tiny area with a miss-colour, in an area that isn't the focal point.

• Slight wiggle on post (stress tested to ensure the posts wont fall off).

B-grade pins

B-grade pins seem fine at first glance, but under close inspection you can see some minor imperfections. These are perfect for people that don't need a mint condition pin, but just really want the design or want to wear the pin.

They can have flaws such as:

• Scratches or chips in the metal or the paint

• Specs of dust, small paint splatter or air bubbles embedded in the paint

• Small areas of underfilled or missing paint

• Discoloration of metal or enamel

• Gaps of missing paint or wrong colour paint

B-grade pins are non-refundable or returnable.
