HELP! My pin broke. :(

Honestly, I don't think so. I used to have a NBC pin with Zero in a spring and I only bent the coil and I was never able to get it back perfectly. A spring I think might be too hard to put back on seamlessly. You can definitely glue it back on with super glue I would think and then it should bounce back and forth like it used to, but since there is that glue stuck in between the 2 pieces and it isn't completely flat, the pin won't be able to be pressed down all the way.
 
This is why I hate pins that have springs. I have had 2 of my Dumbo pins that were on springs that broke off and I still have a hard time trying to get them again from trades. I try to avoid pins that have springs on it unless if it has Dumbo on it
 
Did the spring snap or did it disconnect at the base? I've managed to Super Glue pieces back on successfully when they have broken at the base before.
 
You might try seeing if a jeweler can solder it back onto the spring. But that might cost more than the pin is worth. Superglue or an electronics type person with a soldering gun may be a fix.
