    Guys, I need your help with this little nummus:

    It looks like an imitative type of Theodosius II nummus, but the good style surprise me, cause Im used to seeing styles like these below:

    What do you think? Just a good style imitation of Theodosius II?

    Ditto, and I do not collect that end of the spectrum...

    I have to agree with the others. A very interesting coin even though I do not collect these.

    Obviously imitative, but that doesn't make them any less desirable. Quite an interesting lot of coins you bought. And BTW, really nice pic of a coin resting on your finger. That's tough to do.
