IMPROVED INSPECTION APPARATUS FOR VIEWING BOTH SIDES OF A PLURALITY OF COINS IN SUCCESSIVE FASHION

摘要

An inspection apparatus for viewing both sides of a plurality of coins including a three-dimensional enclosure with a top, a bottom and a plurality of sides in combination defining a hollow interior. A lens is secured within an aperture in the top and provides for magnified viewing of an interior location of the enclosure. A coin supply is secured to the enclosure and is adapted to hold a plurality of coins. The coins are advanced in succession from a holding position to an inspection position for viewing through the lens. A pair of planar shaped reflectors are secured within the enclosure interior and arranged in opposing and angularly extending fashion relative to the lens and the selected coin to be inspected and so as to facilitate a clearer viewing of the selected coin. Following inspection, the coin is ejected and a further coin is transferred from the holding position to the inspection position.
