<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1020795, member: 15199&quot;]There is an aspect to &quot;expert&quot; that has not been discussed, and that is the person who accumulates information from others and can repeat it, but makes no advances in the field. To most in science, that person is not an expert. If knowledge is a step ladder, an expert will climb to the top to see what is there, an accumulator of information is happy to sit on the bottom step and tell people it is a ladder. Numismatics is a science to me, to be an expert, you have to be making new inroads and discoveries and building on the work of others in the field.
