Just rub it with light pressure until the dirt or tarnish is gone then wipe all the soda off with a clean soft cloth. After that you will need to put it in an air tight container or it will start to tone or tarnish again.This method does not work quite as well with other metals but You can buy a professional metal cleaner on the internet that will not damage the coin but it will probably cause the coin to be considered circulated even if it is not, so be very careful what you use it on.
