Grade A pins

 

Grade A pins 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 blemishes or flaws that are only noticeable if inspected up close and under bright light. Some of these blemishes include...

  • some light imperfections in the metal plating
  • surface scuffing or light scratches on the enamel or metal
  • small, singular nicks on the enamel or metal
  • some minor dust mixed into glitter
  • some areas of overturned glitter
  • minor paint pooling on screen printed pins
  • some areas of missing plating on sides of pin*
  • some areas of enamel spillover on sides of pin*
  • small specks of dust on soft enamel pins
  • encased posts with slight wiggle
  • minor offset in screen printing
  • small imperfections on the front of pin
