USA lapel pins are a fantastic collectible item. There’s something about patriotic pins that’s really attractive to most collectors, and for good reason. They support our great country! When most people think of a USA lapel pin, they immediately think American Flag. Well, that’s a good first thought, but USA lapel pins go way beyond a traditional American Flag Pin. There are a ton of different USA and Patriotic Lapel Pins out there, ranging from Flags, to patriotic imagery, Statue Of Liberty lapel pins and more. One of the coolest styles that I personally like to collect are pins in the shape of the United States of America. These lapel pins are very cool, and sometimes have the Flag superimposed over the shape of the Country. Because there are so many variations of USA lapel pins, collecting them is easy and building a vast collection can happen very quickly. Sites like ebay and amazon sell USA Pins, and there are literally hundreds of lapel pin collector sites out there selling USA lapel pins in many forms. I would recommend trying to collect themed USA lapel pins, such as in the shape of the Country, or the Statue Of Liberty, that way your collection is consistent and theme-based rather than seemingly random. This can create a more visually appealing collection that shows better at trading events and you can even sell portions, or entire collections that feature consistency a lot easier than selling random collections. (Even though there is nothing wrong with random collections at all! I happen to have one of the largest random lapel pin collections you’ve probably seen, haha! But I do try to squeeze in some themed collections. A good USA pin features a clean, clear image of something patriotic, and looks quality. Age and authenticity are not highly important, unless they are to you. A good USA lapel pin will look visually appealing and fit in your collection well. Of course you can’t have a great USA lapel pin without Patriotic colors.
