I have two 1909-S LWCs. One is VF25 and the other is F15. The VF is cleaned, as seen here:   I do not have pics of the F15 coin but it is problem free with honest wear. It would slab. Which would you rather keep? I need to sell one of them to free up funds to buy more coins  Opinions wanted. |

Get rid of the cleaned coin if you can. Keep the F-15 as stated above,

Take what you can get for the cleaned one.

I would keep the uncleaned coin over the cleaned one.

Only You can make the right decision. For financial value, the uncleaned coin is a better move to hold on to. For personal satisfaction, it is completely whichever one you are happiest holding on to. If you like them both, keep both  |

It is hard to say which coin I would keep with out seeing both coins.
IMO - The coin pictured is not a bad looking coin .. it has good detail, and was not harshly cleaned.
Given time it could darken and look some what natural again.

The posted coin looks to have been lightly cleaned. I'd put it up on a window sill for a few years, it might tone nicely. It's pretty nice coin actually, ez VF20. Nonetheless, I generally have a preference for a non-cleaned coin and recommend you keep the Fine one.

I am leaning towards selling the cleaned one, but eye appeal means a lot to me, so I would have to see the other coin, to make the right decision.
