<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2703281, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;ve had similar experiences at least within RR numismatics. I haven&#039;t published a paper yet, but I&#039;ve written several times to the ANS and other orgs as well as curators of collections at colleges and museums to either discuss items in their collection, submit questions or ask for information(usually scans of one sort or the other) and have never had someone question my credentials or experience. All of my correspondence has been extremely respectful and in most cases appreciated. I&#039;m only 25 and have a Bachelors in Computer Science and didn&#039;t take a single class in high school or college about ancient history or ancient art, so my resume is about as far removed from professional numismatics as is possible, but as far as I can tell it&#039;s never seemed to have been held against me. If one were to only accept information from credentialed numismatists with professional degrees in relevant areas you&#039;d have to discount much of what&#039;s come along since Crawford along with some of the sources he cites as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
