Help with Medallic Art Company medal

[DMD]

I recently acquired a badly corroded medal that has Medallic Art Co N.Y. incised on the rim. I get the impression it was in a fire and had been stored in wet conditions. How can I find a professional conservator who could refurbish it?

 

There have only been about 50 of these awarded since 1968, and it's a rare honor. This medal is not militaria, it is an award from a professional organization for contributions to engineering. I may have a factory leftover or reject from initial production of the medal. I don't collect coins or medals like this, so I don't know how to go.

 

Thanks!

A picture of the medal would be of great assistance in identification.

I did not post photos because it is identified but it is not militaria.

 

My question is how do you find a professional service that could restore the medal.

Here is a photo showing part of the corrosion. Both sides of the medal are covered with small spots of corrosion. I have been able to remove a lot of it, but I think a professional service is needed to restore the medal.

Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS) is part of NGC, the coin grading service in Florida. They conserve medals as well as coins. NCS should be able to restore your medal to an attractive state. Here's the link...

Good luck with it.
