try soaking in 100% acetone the black environmental damage looks clay like or like biomass, might get some of it off. As for grade ignoring details grade i'd put it at VF-18 details.

VF-20 details, an acetone bath should help. Post pics after the soak please.

I agree. What's under the gunk on the reverse will likely look worse than what's there now. I wouldn't try removing that stuff myself.
