CinM Valued Member United States 154 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 6:10 pm Okay, Thanks! Since it appears to be cleaned w/ scratches and pitted type texture, should I keep and just hope it's worth something in 20 years? Or is it worth something now? I have another like this that I picked up in a roll of mostly crappy, worthless LWCs from ebay. That will be the last time that happens.
