bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 2:05 pm These are real and are Byzantine Roman coins so will be around 1000 years old. I cant ID them to the Emperor but others here can and will. Edited by bobbyhelmet 03/04/2013 2:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Lenard Valued Member France 57 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 3:01 pm Funny that these ones are real ones since they are the most represented in that collection I try to work on. So much for my learning curve... Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 4:39 pm I would guess 6th Century. For Byzantine bronzes they are actually quite nice ! Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 03/04/2013 4:45 pm They are all Byzantine, they are all folles with is 40 nummi indiciated by the large M. The obverses all all upside down, but from what I can make out the first one is the emperor Justin I 518-527, the second is Justin II and Sophia 565-578, and the third appears to be Justinian I 527-565.

augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 03/05/2013 10:47 am They are genuine Byzantine coins. echizento is right about the rulers. All are from the Nikomedia (Nicomedia) mint, as "NIKO" indicates. Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 03/05/2013 3:24 pm Whatever some 'fool' will pay for them ...... In this case my best guess would be $60-80 maybe a few more depending on the circumstance Report this Post to the Staff
