    I belong to the Pacific Northwest Token and Medal Society, since my medal interests are only within Washington State. I really enjoy the quarterly meetings, a lot of rare and interesting medals and tokens are traded by collectors.

    I have read the Token and Medal Society is more involved with tokens than medals, if I were to join a national club it would be the Medal Collectors of America.

    Found this. Golf


    What is a "Partner's Club / Charter Member" ???

    EDIT: I found some info where somebody stated this: "I joined the partner's club when it first started out. I bought a lifetime membership, and for the first couple of years (because it WAS associated with the PGA tour) I received products for testing, a monthly magazine, bag tag, etc. After the first couple of years, the magazine delivery became erratic at best, and then stopped coming altogether. Then I weas informed that the PGA tour discontinued their association with the partner's club. I have not received anything from them in years, and I am very disappointed and upset that I shelled out so much money and have no contact from them whatsoever..."

    I missed this thread and very worthy of bumping it up so people can join.
    It’s a very worthwhile society and I’ve learned so much by being a member.

    I have a few medals but these are my favorites.
