Thanks! What was the saying about curiosity and the cat again... :D
Luster looks good to me. In fact that's why i posted links to both of the coins - the "cleaned" coin has just as nice a luster to it as the MS63....
I agree, but i didn't pay $70 for it. I bought the coin raw for about $30. And second, there is a 5 coin minimum for submitting coins to NGC for...

@BooksB4Coins: No I am not sure about it, but below is the current pricing grid on the NGC site. Am I reading this wrong?...
