If it isn't a smooth polished surface, use a brass bristled brush or wire wheel attachment for a dremel tool.

If it is a smooth polished surface, use a dremel with a buffing wheel and a metal polish of some type. Brasso and Excite are examples of a metal polish that will work on bronze. You can actually use plain white toothpaste, but it doesn't work as well.

How clean can a vineger clean up penny?

Don't clean any collectible coins. However, vinegar can clean outward corrosion off of a penny and strip off the outer layer of copper to make it seem shiny again.
