Can I clean this coin somehow to bring the color back to where it should be? It shows very little aware it's just weird staining. I like to clean this up to keep it because it's nice shape personally

Just environmental discoloration of unknown origin. A spender.

Suggest not cleaning the coin, but it's your call.

Agree with all of the above comments except I would not spend it. Maybe give it to a kid, spark an interest in the hobby.

There is no point in trying to conserve this coin, it is what it is.

There is nothing you can do to this coin to "make it look new again". The damage has already been done, and it is irreversible. Anything you might try to do to it will either do nothing, or make it look worse.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
