NUMISMATIC SPELLING BEE

  Your editor participated in an interesting program hosted by
  Sam Deep at the June meeting of the Pittsburgh Numismatic
  Society - a numismatic spelling bee.   A tough list of 25 words
  (including Antoninianus, Brachteate, Disme, Exergue and
  Scyphate) whittled down the field.  I managed to come in tied
  for first place with 21 of 25.   A tense spell-off followed, and
  I held on to win by correctly spelling kreuzer, fleur de lis, and
  spielmarke.  Whew!  Stu Strickland was the 2nd place finisher.
  But if anything is misspelled in The E-Sylum, I'll blame it on
  the spell-check program...
