ANS Search Menu (Search 500,000+ Coins in ANS Coin Cabinets)
This is very fast and very extensive. (Few pictures and no values, however.)
Use this link to search the ANS site exclusive of the coins database itself.
Search the SNG Volumes at the Fitzwilliam site
SNG Morcom, SNG Stancomb, SNG Lockett, SNG BMC Black Sea, SNG Ashmolean, SNG Fitzwilliam, SNG Lloyd, etc. (collectively "The British SNGs") are in the process of being loaded up onto the web. I estimate this British Academy project is about 30% completed. When it's done, this is going to be a formidable online database!
The Virtual Catalog of Roman Coins. Wonderful database with lots of tremendous images.
