Got another, this one cleaned very quickly in the olive oil. I've asked one more place, and they say that it is probably a wax seal. Anyone here know for sure or have any other info? Thanks!

    That coin looks cup-shaped, if it is chances are it is Byzantine.

    Certainly I've seen more Byzantine coins on flans of that shape.

    Picture is too dark to make out much detail. Not that I could help you with a Byzantine coin, anyway, but those who can will need to see it better, probably, and on both sides.

    Yeah, about that...

    The 'coin' is cup shaped, so the scanner would not pick up an image of the entier coin. You're not really missing anything, this is more than I can see in hand. The other side has very little on it, if anything. It's rather small, about the size of a dime.

    Sounds like some Byzantine pieces I have.

    Unfortunately, I have no Byzantine coin reference books. Yet.
