ANS BUILDING NAMES QUIZ CONCLUDES

  Time to wrap up our quiz about the names of famous
  numismatists inscribed on the walls of the former American
  Numismatic Society building in New York.

  Bruce Burton of Round Rock, Texas writes: "I believe that
  the Russian numismatist's name you've been seeking is Ivan
  Georgievich Spasskii."

  Not correct.  Dave Lange writes: "I'm puzzled by the lack of
  replies to the contest regarding names on the ANS building,
  since the entire roster is given in the most recent issue of the
  ANS magazine. I received this perhaps three weeks ago.
  Doesn't anyone read it?  The Russian numismatist is
  Christian Martin Fraehn (1782-1851)."

  [Actually, since I'm using the ANS article as my source for
  the quiz, our readers weren't supposed to peek.  But no one
  came up with the answer, so it's time to go back to the article
  and publish the complete list.   The honorees are:

  Joseph Hilarius Eckhel (1737-1798)
  Vincent Barclay head (1844-1914)
  Aloiss Heiss (1820-1893)
  Joachim Lelewel (1786-1861)
  Christian Martin Fraehn (1782-1851)
  Sylvester Crosby (1831-1914)

  Thanks for your participation - this has been an interesting
  and enlightening exercise.  -Editor]
