NCS will not "restore" it. NCS only will remove contaminants from coins surfaces, usually chemically. They do not repair damage, including scratching, jewelry damage, or other types of surface damage.
The piece looks genuine, but it (hopefully) should not get into a reputable company's holder as anything other than that - it shouldn't be graded. The damage is permanent, even if it can be worked on.

Actually I had in mind to repair it myself (or have it done) and keep for a "pocket piece". Does this seem like a real bad idea ??? I didn't think it could ever be graded by NGC or PCGS.

His address. He advertises frequently. He does coin repairs and does a pretty good job. He'll tone, de-tone, plug, unplug, whatever. Basically a coin doctor who does his work openly and provides a service to the collecting community.
