Very much agreed. There were three types of this badge that I know of, and all they did at the mint to make the bent metal "pins" that came through the reverse was to make grooves for the bent wires to be as flush as possible without actually tapping off the ends to make them "rivets." Basically, it's all good - as the expression goes.
