But that will leave heavy hair lines. I recommend not rubbing it.

baking soda is so soft it doesn't scratch

Baking soda is abrasive, it will leave fine hairlines when rubbed on the coin, your coin will no longer pass muster at PCGS or NGC, it has been cleaned. It's your coin,worth about $10, do what you will.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I would experiment with acetone and perhaps olive oil, using a q-tip to gently push at the darker areas to see what happens. You won't harm the coin this way.

Baking soda be very careful with it, acetone is a safer bet
