well there are several things you can clean a coin with but be careful because this will decrease the value of the coin. The best way to start cleaning a coin is to find an un-used tooth brush and lightly dab it in some bottled or well water (tap water has small amounts of chlorine in it and this can wear away the coins features). begin by dabbing two to three times and then lightly brush the coin on both the obverse and the reverse. when finished use a light clothe or a silk clothe or better yet an eye glass cleaning clothe. then let it dry for up to an hour if this method did not work try adding a few drops of dish soap to the water and then try again using the same technique. if this one did not work try using some jewelry cleaner of ring polish and use the same technique. If none of the above methods work you most likely need to bring the coin to a coin dealer or find a coin expert to help you out and clean the coin. hope I was a help.
