My first Flying Eagle!

1857. My big question

If I remove the green patina (which I know many folks love). Will the coin detail be clear or will it be ruined?

Thanks

Update. After all your kind and thoughtful insights………I will not be attempting to clean or improve. The risk of harm outweighs the benefits. appreciate all the input!!

My only Flying Eagle I ruined by putting in vinegar,
so I'd do more research and find the right technique in treatment of that valuable coin...!
SUPER Find...!
