A friend of mine in San Francisco sent me these pics, to try and identify the coin.
Any help would be appreciated please.

It's Byzantine. I believe it's an "anonymous follis" of the period 979 - 1081 AD. This one appears to be Class C, obverse Christ standing, reverse IC XC NI KA in quarters of jewelled cross. Attributed to the reign of Emperor Michael IV, who reigned form 1034 to 1041.

No worries. Wink

But I did forget to give a catalogue reference: Sear (Byzantine) #1825.

Sorry, I've been away up north for a week and didn't see this post till just now. Embarrassed

My Sear catalogue is from the 1970's, so it's values are way out of date; it lists #1825 as £4. Last year I paid AU$25 for a well-worn Class D anonymous follis (Sear 1836), which lists at £5 in my catalogue. I'd put your coin somewhere in the $20 to $40 range.
