E-SYLUM NEW YEAR'S QUIZ

  As we start the new year I thought I'd dig back into
  The E-Sylum archives for a short quiz based on topics
  covered in our first couple of years.   Question #2
  will require experimentation; can anyone answer the
  others without peeking at the E-Sylum archive on
  the NBS web site?

   1. The initial mailing list was comprised of the addresses
     of NBS officers and Board members, other current and 
     former members, and other interested parties, for a 
     total of 49 names.   Who was the first person to 
     actually subscribe, becoming #50 on the list?

  2. Our first Featured Web Site was on Chinese Coins 
     (v1n4). Is it still an active web site?

  3. Who was John Leonard Riddell?  (v2n4, v2n5)

  4. What did Baron Lodovico Soltieri collect? (v2n10)?

  5. Which NBS officer purchased a rare rare 1863
     pamphlet published in San Francisco by E. J. Barra,
     titled "Something About Coins" (listed in Attinelli, 
     p.103)? (v2n19)

  6. Which frequent E-Sylum contributor wrote  "I collect 
     first and foremost Nicaragua, which is where I grew
     up, son of American expatriates in the machinery 
     business there.  I also collect papal medals of 
     Civitavecchia (the port of Rome) and Byzantine bronze 
     (anybody have a spare 3 nummi? (oh, sure!) I also take
     pride in my numismatic library of Latin America..." ?
     (v2n24)
