We're missing essential details about this "discovery". Is it a lifetime impression? If so, it's a very interesting find. If not, Rembrandt reprints from the original plates are plentiful, as are images from reworked plates by Durand and others. This may be the proverbial much ado about not much.

It is amazing what is found. Don't be so quick to toss grandmothers stuff when the time comes.
