I like it. It looks like an old ship's bell from navy surplus. If it bothers you use it as a pocket coin. Nothing you do to it is going to increase its value. Yesterday I emeried some objectionable graffiti off of a 5F Napoleon, which is now in MY pocket.

And pardon my french but PVC is polyvinylidine chloride.

Actually, PVC is polyvinyl chloride.

Polyvinylidene chloride is PVDC (Saran Wrap).

It's not a valuable coin. I would leave it alone. Good honest aging for a low grade VG coin.

I'm from the old school. Never clean a modern coin. Ancient coins are different animal.

The grading companies have a new term, preservation and restoration. A rose is a rose by any other name ...

Is every coin in the collection covered with the same level of verdigris as the one illustrated? I Would follow the advice in this thread and try mineral oil and perhaps some of that verdi-care. You probably have some very nice coins underneath all of that goo.
