You definitely don't want the coin to get any shinier. The current color is acceptable... now you want to attack the actual corrosion without removing any more patina if you can help it. Here's a coin. Was probably stripped of the entire patina about 80 or 100 years ago and left bright yellow. They take a long time to color back up.
