May I add, from the world of people who own/have owned ferrets:
"A 'business' of coin collectors?"

A business of ferrets go about their task of gathering food with great determination.
A business of collectors does much the same thing, but only with coins.

A toss up as to which is more determined.
But the term "a business of ferrets" is widely accepted among owners.
My money is still in my pocket as I cannot see any difference.
A determined ferret and a determined collector - NO DIFFERENCE!

'Collectors' could be collectors of anything, so it has to be something for numistmatists in particular.

I have heard of a 'parliament of owls' and a 'murder of crows', how about a
'mint of numismatists'?

THAT will make you stumble over your tongue!
