The picture didn't come out the best, but it was the best I could muster.

I'm no good with ID'ing coins of Constans II from the capital.  Is this Sear 1000?  It's from a Byzantine group of coins, emanating from the local coin shop.

Do you think I attributed this one correctly, to Nicephorus II?  The flip said maybe Romanus I.

 

The flip for the Heraclius S-805 originally said 5th-15th century, lol.  S805, Year 3 (?) officina, overstruck on a Focas of Nikomedia.

When I make my next order from a certain dealer, I'll ask for a coin capsule.  I'll then be able to have a better photography riser.

Dad didn't do too badly.  They've been offering inexpensive coins of late, and for the price, they're not too bad.

The Sear classification is a bit dated for these, so I would use Goodwin's resource instead. See:

but, to answer your question, I would incline towards 1005 as opposed to 1000.
