The year lines are again strange (examples):

 

 

(C) mintage included with the circulation coin. This is written in the comments section.

 

The coin type is generally defined as a circulation type! So every coin without a mintage is included in the year's mintage (normally) the first year line of the year. Thus the (C) doesn't help at all, except to help the first year line with NO TEXT but the mintage to be sorted first in the year lines of the year.

 

Example 2, where the sort order is wrong:

Of course, there is a problem when the “normal” year line texts might be “far 6” or “near 6”, since you have to know how Numista sorts the year lines to be able to have the mintage line first…. if you introduce a year line with the text “brilliant uncirculated”, then that would become the first line of the year according to Numista's sort criteria! Hence the introduction of the horrible (C) I suppose.

 

To be able to make sure the year lines come in the good order, we really need to know how Numista has set up the sort parameters?

We know the sort order is alphabetical.  ( comes before F .  Eventually they learned to force the order by the use of a period.

. comes before ( and . comes before B .

But The (C) is horrible, IMO?

IMO too. They should be gone.  Every line (same year, mint, etc) under a line with a mintage share the same mintage. Like this:

 

Yep, you just have to be careful with the year line texts to get them sorted correctly, as you did with the US coins.

Horrible is a strong word but I don't like the (C) either.
