I would leave it as is. I would NOT use MS70, it is a powerful cleaner with very strong surfactants that can strip all the original patina off.
E-z-est dip would likely remove the toning and also likely remove some of the luster. IF I couldn't stand it as is? I'd sell it an buy one I liked better.

Yes, I am going to leave it "as is" and sell to recoup the expense from the 1917 Type II SLQ that I just got.
One thing about messing with any coin in cleaning is if it is yours, you can do as you want, like, etc. It'a yours. And if you do not PLAN on reselling it, so what if it gets ruined. HOWEVER, that is always one of the things to remember. You may not plan on ever selling any coin, but what IF. And then too, someday someone else will get that coin and would probably be thinking WHY did he do this.
