There are several ways to clean it. I would start with a toothpick to see how much crud comes off. Hot soapy water and a toothbrush works well also and won't damage the coin. And last you could heat up(not boiling) some peroxide in the microwave and let it soak for a few minutes. I would try that on a less important coin first. If the coin has been pitted by being in the ground for so long the the peroxide will only make it worse
