Standard Grade

These pins can contain minor manufacturing beauty marks that ranges from superficial lines to minor visual non-impactful marks this occurs during manufacturing. “Flawless” or with minor imperfections that are only visible from an angle turned to light or magnified to see flaws usually light scuffs or minor under filled enamel areas. The minor flaws may exhibit specks of paint, glitter, effects, minor dings/dents on enamel/plating, screenprint details, pin pricks, and enamel cutout.

Minor Flawed

May exhibit noticeable flaws of the type mentioned above and but not restricted to larger imperfections and/or small imperfections visible from front view (usually small scratches, pin pricks, deep under filled enamel, air bubbles, incorrect color placement, stray paint/glitter specs, major dings/dents on enamel/plating, and many screen print errors). 

Major Flawed

Large/very noticeable flaws of any/all type. A large quantity of missing or peeling enamel, including, but not limited to everything mentioned above. They will always have wearable pin post(s).

I DO NOT CONSIDER- metal chipping of the side or the back of the pin metal a flaw. I also do not consider any lines shown by tilting your pin or applying light to show any polishing lines. This appear as MINOR scratches. This is a normal part of the manufacturing process.
