Copper - to clean or not to clean. [View all]

I found a couple of nice, old copper pieces yesterday and I'm faced with the question of cleaning again. I buy for resale and this time it's a big, old bowl and a large planter. Both have a really dark patina. I can never decide whether to polish them or not. I'm tending toward leaving them alone. What do you think?
