6 Coin Collector Types – How They Collect Coins

People collect coins for a variety of reasons: right from those who are interested in coins purely for the personal satisfaction to those whose motto is only making money through their collection.

1. Professional coin collector: These are the individuals collecting coins with aim of making profits sometimes in the future. Most of the time they are quite informed individuals who can evaluate the value of the coins by examining their conditions.

And sometimes their collection passes on to the next generation and so on. While hobbyists start collecting coins only for fulfilling their personal interest, sometimes later on they begin to make profits.
5. Inheritor coin collector: There are people who did not start collecting coins themselves but inherited the collection from past generation(s). Generally, the inheritors just keep the coin collection; they treasure it but do nothing, and it gets passed on to the further next generation. Sometimes the inheritor becomes interested in the collection and grows it further.
6. Hoarder: These are individuals who just keep whatever coins they come across. Some are simply afraid of losing a valuable coin if not stored.

It’s not like we spend much time with serial cables and RJ-11 jacks these days, but we do appreciate that they have their uses, especially among industrial customers and hobbyists — so it’s no surprise that the enterprising folks at Redpark have cooked up adapters for the iPhone / iPod touch (and, presumably, the iPad). Approved by Apple as reference designs, they’re not yet commercially available, but they do signal the continued expansion of iPhone / iPad functionality that we’ve noted with things like SD card readers, keyboard docks, and GPS car kits. So what do you think — contemplating any iPhone mods involving RS-232 communication? PR after the break.

It features several interviews with prominent hackers and entrepreneurs (and hackers-cum-entrepreneurs), including Richard Stallman, Michael Tiemann, Linus Torvalds, Larry Augustin, Eric S.
