Shield Nickel, to clean or not?

[fyrffytr1]

Found this shield nickel today and can tell it is in poor shape. I can barely make out the shield on the reverse and the obverse is covered in a green coating. But, it is my first in over 35 years of huntin'. Should I clean it? If so, what is the best way?

I think that falls in the category of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I dont think that a cleaning will make much of a difference on this one

Still one more than I have found
