Default Original windshield value

Hi, cleaning up my original windshield out of my early 66 conv and was wondering if it has any value as a survivor windshield, all the marking are correct as in the ncrs guide but it does have a light mark from the drivers side wiper blade. I can’t feel it with my finger nail and I have no experience polishing glass. I was going to throw it out when I took it out last dec but hung on to it . Please give me your thoughts
thanks bob

Don't throw it out! Someone with experience can polish it out. Once that is done, it is easily worth 1000 to the right guy.

Yes! Thees folks polished out wiper scratches on my 63 before it went to judging:

They will come out and assess the scratch and tell you what can be done for free and its better if the windshield is out of the car...and they are super reasonable...
