What is the difference between Standard and Seconds grade?

Standard grade: the highest quality product with none to minimal flaws. We strive to provide the best quality, but please keep in mind that these are handmade items, and no pin is 100% perfect.

Minor flaws may include:
– Surface scratches on metal or enamel
– Lower fills in enamel
– Slight screenprint errors (maybe slight misalignment)
– Tiny speck of dust/glitter

Seconds grade: Pinpricks, scratches, missing or misaligned enamel, misprinting, or other flaws may be present and more noticeable than a standard grade. Please keep in mind that this is a flawed pin that cannot be returned due to imperfections.
