You'll be hard pressed to find an 18th century example without ANY evidence of a past cleaning; so this detriment is minimal in my book. Simply stunning.

I initially put the grade at VF-30 but to be realistic I feel it is more of a VF-25. The scratches on the plastic and glare from the light make it hard to see clearly. Regardless of the grade I like it and it is on my "when I strike it rich" list
