<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 2702702, member: 19615&quot;]I can&#039;t speak to the attitudes or behavior of contemporary high school teachers, but the relationship between &quot;academic&quot; and &quot;amateur&quot; numismatists is quite a bit more nuanced, positive and fruitful than this black and white characterization implies. I don&#039;t doubt that there is resistance--for good reasons and for bad--from <i>some </i>academicians to <i>some </i>amateurs <i>some </i>of the time, but there always has been and continues to be mutually fruitful interaction as well. My own experiences have been entirely positive. I have a modest list of peer-reviewed papers, sometimes cited in other &quot;serious&quot; publications; no one has ever interrogated me about my entirely unimpressive academic credentials. A better example is RBW, who knew and corresponded with everyone involved with RR numismatics--in academia and elsewhere--and who published extensively in peer-reviewed journals. I doubt any credentialed scholar ever asked to see Rick&#039;s diplomas either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
