<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 5007587, member: 97383&quot;]P.O.Man, Pictured below is a AV Histamenon Nomisma of Constantine X Ducas, I sold at auction 3 years ago. I bought the coin in 1986 when I had a Coin / Antique shop in Rochester, NY. I was buying scrap gold at the time &amp; tested everything I bought including this Byzantine coin that tested 18K, or .750 fineness. I believe this issue started the first serious debasement of Byzantine coinage. David Sear could offer some expert knowledge on this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1201446[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Byzantine Empire, Constantine X, AD 1059-1067, AV Hist.
