For many years I have tried to understand the economic operation of prior societies by looking at things not words - thus - their surviving coins
With that in mind I tried to quick test on SSRN, Econpapers and Academia.edu - with a simple word search for "Numismatics"
SSRN offered me a "Keyword" search which found 22 papers
Econpapers offered a "quicksearch" which found 31 papers
Academia.edu search immediately offered multiple results - including a "full text search result" of 26,535 papers
Is it my skill with search buttons that is amiss here, or if not, what?
Any thoughts appreciated
