Hello st8dy,
Not realy mate i think the patina may add a bit to it and give the heart
a bit more colour .so its not a bad thing.

I agree on some antiques and such. But I assure you that hawk will look better with the "new penny" look on the heart.

Its generally accepted because copper patina's so quickly, and I'm not sure there's s good way to prevent it.
 
You can try Rennaissance Wax or similar to keep it shining. Only surefire way will be constant polishing with Flitz or similar.
