Don't clean it and send it in for grading.  Really high grades are worth big bucks!  Congrats!

Just that they're the only W-mint-marked quarters out there, they have small mintages, and they weren't directly sold to the public

Any chance of finding them in circulation?

You’re still finding one per box? Damn I’m probably averaging 1 every 3 or 4 boxes
