David Alexander writes:

Regarding medals of the Bronx Coin Club, I have encountered the following items over the years. Two of them are listed in "A Century of Civility: the Centennial History of the New York Numismatic Club, 1909/09 - 2008/09" by John M. Kleeberg and David T. Alexander. I am sure others exist. The values attached are "guesstimates" made a few years ago. A personal note: I knew Otto T. Sghia quite well, as he was a founder of the old Miami Coin Club in Florida, to which my late brother John and I belonged in the early 1950's. Sghia (we laterlearned) had been NYNC president in 1942-43.
