<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2867802, member: 71723&quot;]Exactly what “base” said right here - it’s plus one (+1) all the way to the moon. Numismatic publishing, AND I’LL INCLUDE WHITMAN AND KRAUSE, includes more error and outright lies than any other field I can think of while typing this post on an iPhone SE. The entire field is rife with garbage authorship and always has been. I offer to you Mr. RWB’s reputation in the U. S. District Court for Eastern Pennsylvania as evidence. Coin people IN PARTICULAR, even authors, often make up myths and present them as facts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Further, we are now in the LEAST RELIABLE ERA EVER of publishing, RIGHT NOW, because of the loss of professional editorship and gatekeeping. Any schmo can have a website, blog, DISCUSSION BOARD SYSTEM (ahem!), and wrap himself in the vestments of believability. He can even self-publish a BOOK that is full of - - - -. There isn’t just a “fake news” problem. People are making nearly EVERYTHING up, EVEN publicly funded university researchers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The “democratization” of media is the proximate cause of its demise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
