I own these four Byzantine coins. I bought them a long time ago.
Assuming these are in AU condition, what are the approximate values of each?
Does the value of any of these four go up appreciably as the condition gets higher in mint state?
Where do I look to look up these coins values these days?
Thanks

the Phocas is probably the one I've seen for sale most often.
They often pop up on ebay and this could be a place to check if you type in "Solidus" into the search you might find similar ones.
Josh from civitasgalleries would be able to give you a better answer though.

Are you grading these like modern coins or like ancients? even a weak srike, or even a small defect could bring this from XF to VF, not really much of a price difference though, if any.

much of a change from 2010 to 2021?
My one solidus is Justin II and I have no idea about it's current value

You might check some of the old on line auction catalogs from CNG. I do not follow these to offer an opinion as to value
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
There have been some outliers in the last few auctions, realizing absurd prices in NGC holders. Otherwise, normal collector values haven't changed dramatically.
They've gone up with the price of gold, obviously. Byzantine and Arab gold can still often be had for not much above bullion value.
