Are you sure it is tarnished and not an off-metal strike? Should be able to tell by weight. And if it's not valuable, spend it and let someone else worry about it. == Brasso or another metal polish will do the trick. You could also just use some fine steel wool and do it "dry" or make a slurry of scouring powder and a bit of water to form that slurry or a paste. Look the coin over first before taking it to the cleaners to be sure it's a "regular" coin and not a "valuable" one.

How do you clean a tarnished gun?

I don't know the process to clean a tarnished firearm. However, if it is a very old one, or you think it has historical and/or monetary value, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN IT. This can cause trouble in dating the weapon and will drastically lower its value. Collectors and appraisers like old, historic firearms as-is, with tarnish, rust and all. One way of cleaning without damaging is to clean with 0000 steel wool and gun oil....
