    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
