QUIZ QUESTION: NUMISMATIC NAMES IN STONE

  Dick Johnson brings us a new quiz question.  He writes:
  "Now that the American Numismatic Society is leaving the
  building that has been its home for 96 years, can you name
  the numismatists whose names are inscribed on the tablature
  of the facade above the building's entrance?  (The Society
  moved into the building December 1907 from a  room next
  door at the Hispanic Society where it had been meeting
  for a year. The first meeting in the new building was the
  Fiftieth Annual Meeting January 20, 1908.)

  Hint 1: Archer Milton Huntington's name is not there (despite
  the fact he donated the land and made up the difference
  between the money raised for the building and its actual costs).

  Hint 2: The names are all numismatic book authors. It's fair
  game to peek at the building (if you are standing on Audubon
  Terrace while you read this)."

  [See this week's Featured Web Page for more on Audobon
  Terrace.  It includes a picture of the buildings, but no close-up
  of the tablature. -Editor]
