ABSTRACT:
A device for mounting coins for photographic identification and cataloging employs a base mounted rotating table having angular indicia about the edge thereof and an angular reference indicator on the base. A platform for mounting the coin to be photographed is provided which is mounted on a helicoid axial position adjusting device wherein the platform and adjusting device rotate with the table. A disc is provided having a hole therethrough adapted to fit the outer diameter of the coin, for providing coin centering on the platform. A lens holder is provided which is capable of being placed in a position overlying the platform or in a position remote therefrom. A lens is mounted in the lens holder for rotational movement therein, and a pattern of reticle lines if inscribed on the lens. With the table aligned with the base reference, a coin is placed in a north-south position on the platform, retained by the disc and the lens is placed in the position overlying the platform and the coin. The lens is rotated to orient the array of reticle lines in a predetermined angular position relative to the base reference indicator and the table is rotated to a predetermined angular orientation relative to the base reference indicator. A coded photograph of the coin may be taken through the lens producing an identification photo with reticle lines superimposed thereon, and carrying a code indicating the angular orientation of the reticle lines, the table and the style of reticle array utilized.
The method includes orienting a support platform for a coin to be identified relative to an angular reference and thereafter orienting the coin in a predetermined position on the platform. An indentifying reticle display is superimposed on the coin and the reticle display is rotated to a predetermined reticle position. The platform is rotated to a predetermined platform position. A camera is aligned with the angular reference viewing the coin. The coin is photographed and the photograph is identified with indicia signifying reticle display rotation, reticle display identification, and platform rotation so that identifying marks on the coin face are located and recorded for future indentification.
