Numismatic Value?

[DeepThought]

Help...what is meant by Numismatic Value....is it the same as face value? I was looking through some coins I've detected & comparing to values on the web. Example: face value may equal .25 for a coin but Numismatic value = upwards of $12

thx

Numismatic value is basically the value to a coin collector.
