    Are they all MACO? The most interesting one to me is the Picasso - but it seems to be in about the worst condition. The MACO ones you can probably find on eBay. There's always a selection there. Some sell, some don't. With the MACO medals I think condition is a pretty important issue. Any oxidization will cost dearly. But if you've got one that's rare...?

    Welcome aboard.

    Try the olive oil soak on them for a while.

    Hi,
    I agree with Terry. The olive oil is widely accepted on the coin board and they are a very fussy bunch and I mean that nicely.

    Me three on the olive oil bath. It might take awhile but it works.
    I'm a metal detector enthusiast and this treatment is even very effective on coins and relics that have been in the ground for a hundred years and more. You just have to be patient. I've soaked coins for weeks. In the end it is worth the wait.
