I have 3 that I am happy with and none of these display any of these marks!! All 3 that I consider to be ok have sliders too. I've added pics to show these,plus a good one by Woodward for comparison, may be of interest to some, all the best,

Wilf,
Thanks for sharing these observations. I've checked my badges and seem to have two which display these faults, one with loops and the other with a slider.
Interestingly, another example I have with which I have never been entirely happy (non-voided crown) has none of the faults you list.
It's a funny ol' game, Saint!
Thanks again,
Peter.
