See my thread in Coin Chat. Hell yes I cleaned them all: acetone, q-tips, and toothpicks. They were coated with a nauseating combination of glue, coffee, and PVC. (Not necessarily in that order)
Nice lot! I see a notgeld in there! A shame you RUINED them by making them look far better and removing harmful corrosive substances!!
For an easy recreation of what the notgeld looked like prior to cleaning, hold your thumb out in front of your eye, so as to block the COBLENZ side. Then, splash water in the other eye.
