Medal Collectors of America is an ANA member club, founded in 1998 for collectors of historical and art medals. Last year, Dave Bowers praised the MCA and their Advisory in his blog:

MCA is now offering a special membership promotion for E-Sylum readers. We offer two types of membership: Electronic at $25 per year, and print at $55 per year. If you mention the E-Sylum promotion when you sign up and pay your first years dues, you will receive membership all the way through the end of 2016. The remaining 2015 issues of the MCA Advisory (print or by e-mail depending on the type of membership you pay for) will be free!

The MCA website is full of information and resources on the organization and medal collecting: www.medalcollectors.org .
