There's absolutely nothing that can be done because there's nothing to clean. If you mess with it the only possible result would be to lose detail.
 
So electolysis or soaking it in coca-cola is out of the question?



No soaking of any type will help because you can't create something from nothing. Your coin is all surface metal with a slight bit of detail left, and the only thing there is to clean would be the detail.... and if you remove that of course you will be left with a blank copper.
 
Yea he's right I destroyed an old copper that way. It was better dirty then when I cleaned it.
