<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2347125, member: 19463&quot;]It is easy to look at Mitchiner and other workers of the past and see their errors.&nbsp; We need to remember that they also got a lot of things right.&nbsp; Any science always has a new set of people 100% convinced that they have all the answers.&nbsp; My grandson was taught in middle school about the atom.&nbsp; They showed half a dozen &#039;models&#039; explaining atomic structure each named and dated as to when they were state of the art knowledge.&nbsp; The problem is the one of these I remember for high school was now called the old fashioned model.&nbsp; Fifty years is a long time when we are talking about science.&nbsp; Ask Pluto.&nbsp; When some of our standard coin references were written there was no discussion of Pluto being or not being a planet because it had not yet been discovered.&nbsp; We are lucky that there is any progress in a minor science like numismatics when there is so much to do in every field.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
