Hello,

I would like to ask a question regarding Canadian numismatic sets in the Numista catalog.

In the past, these sets were either removed from the coin catalog or rejected when submitted, unless it was clearly demonstrated that the coins originated from a dismantled set and were intended for individual coin collecting, rather than for collecting complete sets.

There was also, if I recall correctly, a specific place or defined method to indicate the origin of such coins, in order to avoid confusion between coins coming from sets and those intended for standard numismatic collecting.

I should note that until a few months ago, I was the reference editor for Canadian coins on Numista, but I stepped down from this role and remained inactive for some time.

Since my return, I have noticed the addition of several sets on the French side, creating new catalog entries, without any clear explanation or rule associated with these additions.

Could you please let me know whether the policy regarding numismatic sets has changed, and if so, what the current official guideline is in order to ensure consistent catalog management?

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

Kind regards,

StoneTemple

 

Here is one example of a page, but there are others: N#386474

This is not a bug! 😄

 

The sets were added in June 2025 (no guidelines yet). See https://en.numista.com/forum/topic108347.html#p1254694

Thank you for the clarification.

 

As a former country reference for Canadian coins, my concern is mainly structural: in several cases, sets are now listed both in the dedicated sets section and directly within the individual coin catalog, creating duplication across multiple pages.

 

I understand that no guidelines exist yet, but I wanted to point out the current impact this has on catalog consistency.
