Do I need to do anything to a cleaned coin?

I have a 1879 S Morgan that will grade EF to AU. The only problem is that some schmutz (sp?) cleaned the coin very thoroughly, only on the obverse. I mean the this side shines silver like my grandmother's silverware! Looks like silver polish. The reverse actually looks like a very nicely kept coin, with a small amount of dullness. Sorry, but my camera won't take a decent photo of it. Should I just put it in a 2x2 and be happy with the bright appearance? Or, try a 10 second bleach bath to tone it down, as suggested in another thread, on another issue? Or, if I just leave it in a protected drawer, will it eventually dull somewhat?
Don't worry, I didn't kill this coin. Shoulda' sent it back, but what the heck.

My only advice is if you are not sure what you are looking at, study more, train your eye, and stick with professionally graded coins by PCGS or another company with whom you feel comfortable, although I would not go beyond NGC or ANACS.

I have only about $16 in it.
