Maybe I lost some posts in the forum, but I cannot find a definition of these two types of items in the FAQ.

It would be very nice if someone could add the “official” definition, as well as the other categories of items documented in the Numista catalog.

Coins issued by a government for collection or investment purpose. They were not intended for circulation. The coins are denominated in a currency which doesn’t have circulating coins or banknotes.

 

Coins issued by a government with collection or investment purpose, including non-circulating legal tender coins (NCLT). They were not intended for circulation. The coins are denominated in a currency which has some circulating coins or banknotes.

 

The type of currency is the difference.

That definition doesn't match the Collector coins in Numista. For example, N#71613 is issued in the currency for circulation coins at that time.

 

I agree it would be useful to have easy-to-find definitions for the types.

1. If the coin you referenced is listed as the wrong type, change it.

2. How much easier could it be?  Every time you open the catalog to search it's right there. I posted a picture where you can find it. Here is the direct link.  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/types.php
