Here are three very large (half dollar) Byzantine M, M, K Follis. The middle one with cross being held I suspect is from Antioch as many times a cross is prominately featured on one side of the coin. http://home.epix.net/~maywrite/coin.htm

These three as well as the other's I've posted today have been in olive oil for about four months. I will separate them and submerse in another solution to break up the (road tar it seems) crud which is covering some areas on these and on two more coins completely.

Take Care
