Grading System

 

A Grades will appear close to perfect, and any imperfections present should be hardly (if even) noticeable.

These pins should display the following qualities:

    • Clean and smooth enamel
    • Metal plating should be polished and shiny
    • Dye plating should be clean and matte
No enamel pin is perfect, A-grade pins flaw will be at minimal.
    • Minor marks in the metal or enamel
    • Tiny imperfections in screen-printed details
    • I allow screen-printed details to overlap metal. This is common in screen-printed pins, and I do not consider it a flaw. 

Flaws in B Grade enamel pins might be, but are not limited to:

  • Under-filled areas.
  • Small paint smudges.
  • Small areas with the wrong color fill.
  • Scratches in screen-printed details.
  • Multiple imperfections in the metal, such as scratches, overfilling, tarnish and more
  • One or more air bubbles in the enamel.
