Which one would you rather have?

Would you rather have the AU. Straight grade... but it has a spot on Obverse or the UNC which is net grade as a details cleaned?
Which one is more valuable?

That's a legitimate question.
I almost never choose a problem coin but that one doesn't look too bad.
It is a higher grade with no distractions, as well, so I would take it over the AU token.

I think the spot would bother me. Cleaning won't.
I have 6 volumes of the 'Tarbell System' magic books. They're quite good.
I hate spots, so cleaned for me!
Unc details
The pictures could be better, but the 'cleaned' coin does appear to have more detail. Cheers, RickO
"UNC Details" for me. I really hate spots.

I'm seeing spots...............and I have a headache from trying to decide.

Can I pass? Unless those are the only two I'll ever have access to, I don't think I'd like either enough to want one of them.
I don't like spots and I don't like cleaning. So I will pass on both unless these are the only two extant.

I don’t know how difficult those are to obtain, so I don’t know if my advice to hold out for better is applicable.
