If you are holding this coin for collectable value, it is not a good idea to clean it.
Most collectors and dealers will only offer a bullion value for cleaned coins regardless of its collector value.
If you are set on cleaning it however, you could use a polishing rag, "nicabrush" silver cleaner, or in some cases I have heard that toothpaste works well.
I would not recommend cleaning your coins though. Unless it is an uncleaned ancient coin, in which case there are many good sites on the net with good instruction.
