W. B. YEATS AND NUMISMATICS

Michael E. Marotta writes:

"Your question about Nobel Laureate numismatists should have been common knowledge to all E-Sylum participants. My "Money Talks" script has appeared on rec.collecting.coins several times since 1996, though not this year.

I found Yeats' monograph in the stacks at the MSU library when I lived in central Michigan. I shamelessly xeroxed it for (ahem) "fair use." If there are two correct answers to the question, then I would give credit to Mommsen. He was more of a numismatist. Yeats' interest was cursory at best."

[Editors note: Mr. Marotta's script is #901 in the ANA Money Talks series. It is titled "Ireland's Poet Laureate"]
