The first celebrates two events, the Philadelphia Coin Club show of 1941 and the 50th anniversary of the ANA. The craftsmanship on this one is excellent and is a good contrast to the cruder but still nice medal of the Newburgh (New York) Coin Club. The latter one would fit the &quot;exotic&quot; medal category because it&#039;s a lead composition, quite unusual for a medal or token. There&#039;s a stark contrast between the two in regard to condition also. I was told by the seller of the Philadelphia CC / ANA medal that her father was the only owner of this piece, so it sat undisturbed in his collection from 1941 until she inherited it from him. The Newburgh medal obviously has seen some hard times, but to me that&#039;s where the appeal of it lies. Believe it or not, I only paid 99 cents for the Philly medal on E-bay. Not bad for a historic piece of exonumia from 70 years ago. Thanks for looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
