David Hartill[edit]

@Llammakey:, yes David Hartill used a self-publishing platform but he's actually an award winning numismatist associated with the Royal Numismatic Society (RNS) and no faults with his scholarship have been found in the numismatic world. The main reason he self-publishes is because most publishers take a large cut of the profits. When assessing self-publishes or vanity published sources the author and work in question has to be assessed as well and David Hartill has previously published through the Royal Numismatic Society (for example Qing Cash) and he has co-authored several important works in the field. -- Donald Trung (talk) 17:04, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
