  RARE GOLD COIN OF COENWULF FOUND
  

  From a Reuters account, September 10:
  "The coin was discovered on a public footpath beside the
  River Ivel in Bedfordshire, England. It is the first new
  Anglo-Saxon gold penny to come to light in nearly a century
  and the only known gold coin with the name of Coenwulf --
  a king who ruled over the central English region of Mercia.
  

  London auctioneers Spink estimate the coin will sell for
  120,000-150,000 pounds ($214,100-267,700) when it goes
  under the hammer in October."
  

  "It's obviously going to be far in excess of anything that the
  average guy would expect to find when he's out walking his
  dog," said Bishop. Full Story
