William E. Metcalf It is with great sadness that the American Numismatic Society announces the death of William E. Metcalf, who passed away at the age of 77 on 2 August 2025. Former ANS Chief Curator and one of the most distinguished numismatists in the field of Roman numismatics, he worked at the ANS from 1975 to 2000. In 2024, he received the Society's Archer M. Huntington Award for Excellence in Numismatic Scholarship. His many friends and colleagues at the Society deeply mourn his passing and will cherish his memory with enduring respect and affection. A full obituary detailing his distinguished life and career will appear at a later date.
