A very interesting read on the divide of Coin Collectors and academic archaeologists. http://www.coinweek.com/commentary/faerie-queene-headlines-kunker-summer-auction/
I've never been able to put much faith into "academic" anything. My son the PhD will be the first to tell you that "academics" can and do make their research say whatever they desire. I can believe the reasoning behind the conclusions of the two researchers was what they believed to be "for the greater good". Simply stated and using the words of General Anthony Clement McAuliffe: NUTS!!
