GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 9:56 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

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. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
