A philatelist is one who studies stamps and other mail-related materials but doesn’t necessarily collect them. A numismatist is one who studies coins and monetary-related items and information but doesn’t necessarily collect them. The two terms are often confused for people who collect rather than study stamps and coins. Some people who start out as collectors then become philatelists or numismatists.
