Penny sets record
********This is $409,000.00 American***********
***Below shown in Australian dollers************
08oct04
AN Anglo-Saxon penny fetched $567,000 at auction yesterday --
breaking the world record for a British coin.
Specialists at Spink auction house had expected it to fetch between
$295,000 and $370,000.
American collector Allan Davisson bought the gold coin, found with a
metal detector near the River Ivel in Bedfordshire in 2001.
It is the only known coin to bear the name of King Coenwulf of Mercia
and to show a clear regal design. It weighs 4.33g and is similar in
size to a 5c coin.
