I buy my coin most of the time from flea market, antique shop or money changer. Sometime I don't know what is the origin of the coin in my possession. A book is a must have tools and Google is an easy way to find their info in the world wide web. Other then that, I will look for information in some forum or website that have some similar collection that I have.
Recently, I found this collection database by American Numismatic Society that have a major collection of coin I can found. They have coin from Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic, East Asian, South Asian, Medieval, United States, Latin America, Modern and Medal collections. I try to look for Mexican pillar dollar with this collection database. I found that the database don't have it's picture, only some coin detail. Most of the coin with picture in here is American coin.
Their form is very easy to understand and you don't need to put all the detail in there. I just try putting year 1741 in the Date on Object field and select silver as material. When I click show result, the result page will be coming out within a few second. The result page only a bit slow when you need to wait for a picture to come out. Other then that, this database collection is another great tools to help you identifying your coin collection.
You can find their database collection here: ANS database collection
