Hello there ladies and gentlemen!

 

I'd like to suggest the following change on "Catalog" page:

 

Addition of Stock and Bond Certificates (Scripophily) as a sub-item inside Paper exonumia or even as a separated section (aka Scripophily).

 

Some References and Sources about Scripophily (Stock and Bond - i.e. gov. bonds, supranational bonds, municipal bond, war bond, corporate bonds, climate bonds,  debentures, notes, &c. - certificates):

 

• Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripophily

• Museo digitale della Scripofilia - Digital Museum of Scripophily: http://www.scripomuseum.com

Best regards, GuGa

The key argument for this is that Scripophily is considered a branch of Numismatics. But not all numismatic organizations cover it. (I don't see anything about stock certificates on the American Numismatic Society web site.)

 

This seems a reasonable extension for Numista, but I don't collect stock and bond certificates and I would much prefer other suggestions in this forum to be worked on.
