Deep circulation scratch would give it a details grade(bad news). It is circulated, G-08, Details, damaged would be a formal grade. If you were to try to clean with acetone I'm afraid the gunk would come off some but leave a two-toned ugly mess, best leave it alone. It is a medium-hard date to generally come across in searching for. Edited by Crazyb0 06/14/2018 11:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
