Pin Seconds Grading

Pin seconds have minor imperfections and are grouped into 3 grades based on the defect/s (refer to image for examples):

  • B Grade: Very minor imperfections that are barely visible or not noticable. May include (but not limited to) light scratches on metal, slightly underfilled enamel, tiny speck of dust. Could easily pass as a first grade pin. (Best value in my opinion)
  • C Grade: Minor defects that may be noticed upon closer inspection. May include (but not limited to) specks of dust in enamel, slight offsets in screenprinting, etc.
  • D Grade: Minor defects and visible flaws, however often are not glaringly obvious. These may include:
    - Chips and/or shallow cracks
    - Dark specks or dust
    - Missing or discoloured enamel
    - Overfilled or underfilled enamel
    - Noticable offsets or smudged screenprinting
    - Scratches in enamel or metal, or unpolished metal
  • M Grade: Are not technically fault however the entire batch was made with incorrect design elements such as wrong colours

A pair of seconds-grade Phoebe enamel pins featuring one of each available design.

There is actually nothing wrong with these pins - either 1) the enamel is just a tiny bit underfilled but is not noticeable, or 2) the lines are a little thicker than normal.
