Does PCGS slab any US coin club medals (like they do for China)?

Zoins

I've always found it interesting that PCGS slabs many Chinese ANA and coin club medals but I haven't seen any US coin club medals or ones from other countries certified.

Does PCGS slab US coin club medals say from the ANA, California State Numismatic Association, Colorado Springs Coin Club, Denver Coin Club, Glendale Coin Club, Pacific Coast Numismatic Society, etc.

Here are some examples from the Great China Hong Kong Collectors Association and ANA Anaheim.

The answer is yes, PCGS slabbed at least 1 US ANA medal, the 50 Yr. ANA Member Gold John Jay Pittman LM-152: #613795/81762530. I wonder if they would slab the more common ones as well.

I sure hope they do for the PCNS Medals. I just got this Pacific Coast Numismatic Society 1982 800th meeting octagonal.

And the 60TH ANNIVERSARY in NGC MS 67...I haven't received this one yet as its coming up on a month but I sure hope it arrives as it is one of my most favorite designs.

Not yet by PCGS. All GCC medals we graded have been ANACS, though I think I saw one in ICG as well.

But we did have PCGS make some slabs with our club name on the label for the 2016 Anaheim ANA that had Australian Kangaroos.

Were the PCGS ones graded?

If not, have there been discussions to have PCGS grade your club medals?

Here's a PCGS graded medal for the 2015 Macao Coin Expo:

Given the seeming popularity of Chinese coin club and expo medals, even for PCGS, I wonder if this period of collecting Chinese coins coincides with an earlier period of collecting US coins, say in the 1960s?

Would be great for PCGS to start slabbing US club medals

To my knowledge, PCGS has never graded any of our Glendale Coin Club medals. The only club medals I have seen PCGS grade are maybe some of the ANA medals, not remembering any others. Never asked PCGS to encapsulate or grade our club medals as it was hard enough just to get them to make a special label for us. Here's what we had them make for the 2016 Anaheim ANA show:

Also, I'm thinking the fact that our Glendale Coin Club medals are minted by Daniel Carr would make it a bit tougher to get them into a PCGS slab as PCGS has seemed pretty hesitant thus far to encapsulate any of his productions.

They probably only encase ones struck by a government mint. The Chinese mints are the only ones I know of doing it now.

The ANA John Jay Pittman medal above wasn’t struck by a government mint but that’s the only PCGS slabbed US coin club medal I’ve run across so far. I have Newman’s medal which I’ll likely submit. Not sure about the others.

China rules, like Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Bing rile. Thankfully our host isn't banned there. I wonder if the Chinese get to search CoinFacts , too. Strange world of dominion we live in. I hope this is not a bannable post.

With the recent changes at the top at PCGS, maybe it is time for someone to try submitting another Carr "1964-D" Peace.
After all, the PCGS Tokens and Medals policy still states that valid items include: "•Krause Unusuals listed in the US Section, from the reference "Unusual World Coins, 6th Edition" by Krause Publications." : https://pcgs.com/tokensandmedals
The Carr "1964-D" Peace is listed in that approved catalog.

This one finally arrived after several month's waiting for it.
This one is in a NGC holder but hope to submit a re-holder.

PCGS now slabs the 1971 Western Reserve Numismatic Club medals. Definitely making progress.

I keep hoping to see PCGS slab PCNS and Dan's club medals.

Here's one from the London Numismatic Society.
