Pin Grading
🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱 🌱
Each pin creator have their own way of grading their pins. It's different for each person and there isn't really a standardize way. For my pin grading I use the term "Standard" and "Flawed". Some may use "A-grade", "B-grade" or "C-grade".
Some of the types of flaws you'll see on a "Standard" pins will be stuff from the "Standard Too" image too. Not very noticeable at normal view.
I do have a grades worse than "Flawed" but I usually want the buyer to see the bad flaws that it have before buying.

Standard
What I consider my best of the pin batch. Usually couple of slight flaws.
- Slight flaws. Not very noticeable at normal view.
- Some scuffs or scratches
- Small specks and dust
- Colors may look different in person
Flawed
Not as good as standards but good enough. Usually has a bunch of these.
- Noticeable flaws
- Low/overfilled or bubbling in the enamel
- Wrong color
- Deep scratches or dents
- Heavy oxidation
- Over polished metal
