Is anyone capable of updating flown vs. unflown, silver vs. gold populations for space shuttle and International Space Station Robbins medals?

Here is an updated list. Robbins has not produced any shuttle medallions since STS-116, and I was unable to get those numbers. |

Is it the first time that there is such a long gap in production/updates? It's a bit worrying... |

It is to my knowledge. I had heard they were going to catch up on missions this past July, but it hasn't happened yet. |

It's anecdotal at best, but I heard from a reliable source that an STS-118 Robbins was seen "in the wild," but that is the only post-STS-116 medal I've heard being out there.We also have an astronaut's report that they are no longer flying struck medals, but ingots to be struck post flight. |

It seems the ISS 20 Robbins Medallion is currently the latest one produced. |

I don't have population numbers, but the most recent shuttle Robbins I have seen is STS-129. |

Any update on the status of the last three medallions? |

I heard from an STS-135 crew member about a month ago that their medals had just then been delivered to them. |

I was wondering if they are still producing Robbins Medallions for the ISS crews and came across this topic. I am interested to know if there have been any more Robbins Medallions made recently for the ISS expeditions. I have read other posts on cS that say the tradition has basically ended and as mentioned above, the last lot produced were for expedition 20 and I think we are currently up to expedition 41. Is it something that only occurs if the crew decide to get some made and organise it with the Robbins Company (TharpeRobbins)? |

I may be overlooking it and missing it, but is there a reference for ISS Robbins medallions to show what's flown and what isn't?Editor's note: Threads merged. |

The above list only shows one medal for Expedition 2, yet I have one — #8F. Is there any more current listing anywhere?On edit: My mistake, I was looking at the gold ones. |

Evidence that the tradition of creating Robbins medallions for the ISS Expeditions has continued through a upcoming Heritage Auctions lot from the Jerry Ross collection.A set of Expeditions 1 through 48 are represented, and one additional for the year long ISS mission of Scott Kelly and Mikhail Korniyenko. Interesting to note that beginning with Expedition 40, the reverse side of the medallion has been simplified, departing from the typical "Launched" and "Landed" date format, with astronaut names repeated from the front. For 40-46, the medallions have a date range (Month/Year), expedition number, and the astronaut pin symbol. For 47 and 48, the astronaut names return in place of the astronaut pin symbol.

Wow! That is an amazing collection of medals and history. Cool to see the full set intact. It will be fun to watch that lot and the bidding on it. |
