cool coin..... shine does not always = detail , in fact quite often over cleaning reduces contrast which diminishes detail.... most people soak a coin like that in olive oil a few days then scape the softened crude of with a tooth pic...if the coin has any decent value probably ought not clean at all..... nice find though... different...
For coppers with no real significance I use "coin care" it is a citrus oil based cleaner. You can get it a coin shops. It will not shine them up but is will clean that crud off with Q-tip. The citrus oil seems to condition the coin. Again if it is a key date/significance don't clean with out advice.

You can soak it in a bath of hot peroxide for a few mins. That will bring out more detail or soak it in olive oil.
