Are there any 20th century private mint coins/medals that do well?

Just thinking about private mints like Scottsdale, Provident, Pobjoy etc

Are there any coins/medals produced by private mints in the 20th century that are highly collected now?

Personally I turn my nose up at anything from these mints that aren't bullion; I couldn't imagine paying a premium for a "collectible piece" from a private mint, id have no faith it would keep its value

So are there any 20+ year old coins/medals from private mints that have been collected and still carry a premium to this day?

Particularly from the earlier part of the 20thC John Pinches are highly sought after, most notably their high relief medals

From the mid 19thC they were closely linked to royalty and the aristocracy, but as time progressed they also started to produce a significant number of well known commercial pieces. Amongst these they minted the famous Puffin Island coins. Also they beat the RM by nearly 50 years and produced their own reproduction of the Benedetto Pistrucci's Waterloo Medal,  which if memory serves was limited to a few thousand units. Occasionally these pop up for sale on Ebay

During the 60s they were ramping up umpteen series and commemoratives aka the Westminster Mint. Most notably was the Churchill Series along with the annual commemorative/Xmas issues. 

In 1969 they sold up to Franklin Mint, and besides the Kings and Queens Silver Ingot Series little or nothing of collectible value was produced from then on
