Soft Enamel pins are the most popular pin type out there. They feature a more interesting texture due to the nature of their manufacturing process. These types of coins are made by filling areas between raised outlines with colored enamel to create colorful interesting designs separated by metal line work.

Hard enamel pins are significantly more durable than soft enamel pins. They are created by layering enamel to fill the cavity, then polishing it flat and smooth. This makes them highly resistant to scratches, fading, and damage, making sure the pin looks flawless for years to come. The durability makes them highly desirable to pin collectors.

These are often larger pins starting at 1.5 inch size and are typically more detailed and use soft enamel or hard enamel fills.
