Once again it is a lovely Friday with what looks to be a promising weekend on the horizon! To celebrate this awesomeness I am going to talk about a site that I have used frequently when I am researching topics for my posts.

| The Logo of the CoinQuest website |
As you can see from the banner above the name of this site is CoinQuest and it acts as both an online numismatist dictionary, record of several thousand coins and popular coin counterfeits. My favorite aspect of the site is that you can search for a particular coin using one of seven different search options. Whether it be the date, country, or even just the look and feel of the coin, CoinQuest has a simple interface that helps you narrow down the number of possibilities. The results of the search also have nice big pictures of both the obverses and reverses of the coins so that even someone who knows next to nothing about the coin can still find it.
I wish for this site to continue as it is a great start for the beginning coin collector to find and learn about the community and the coins that make it up. My only wish is for CoinQuest to add even more coins to their online catalog! If you want to check out the site for yourself just follow this link: http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_action=search
Have a wonderful weekend and happy collecting!
