Are you sure it is tarnished and not an off-metal strike? Should be able to tell by weight. And if it's not valuable, spend it and let someone else worry about it. == Brasso or another metal polish will do the trick. You could also just use some fine steel wool and do it "dry" or make a slurry of scouring powder and a bit of water to form that slurry or a paste. Look the coin over first before taking it to the cleaners to be sure it's a "regular" coin and not a "valuable" one.
