Pin Grading

I have a very high standard when it comes to grading my pins and I like to be open and honest so that you know what you will be receiving. Below I have laid out the different grades of pins (A being the best and C being lower quality) and what quality to expect when you receive them. I always aim to have a cute and ethical business so if you have any issues at all please email me at acepopstore@gmail.com!

Grade A

These pins are the best quality, they are perfect for pin boards and pin bags as they should have no faults on the front whatsoever.

Grade A-

These pins are perfect at first look but may have a slight fault when looking very closely or a fault to the back of the pin but the front is faultless. 

Grade B

These pins may have a dot of glitter that is the wrong colour or missing enamel. If gold/silver is missing from the front it will be slight. Missing gold/silver coating on the back may be bigger. (This applies to the glitter pins the all gold will have no missing gold)

Grade C

These pins are usually bought if you wear your pins on bags or things that can get knocked about a bit. These pins will be lower quality and will usually be missing gold/silver enamel and/or have a noticeable mark.
