You know you are stuck with the problem. US coins are so well known, and understood so deeply, by US collectors that anything you do to the coin will be identified. Period.
So, do as little as possible. If you have an old wooden cabinet or dresser, you can leave the coins there to naturally retone.
That's about as good as it gets. With older coins, ancients, especially, BU luster, flow lines, and all of that are not expected, so a little artificial toning to remediate a harsh cleaning is not the end of the world for that coin.
Your problem, however, must remain as it is.
