THE COENWULF COIN

  Regarding the item last week about the sale of the Coenwulf
  penny to Allan Davisson, Philip Mernick writes: "The
  speculation at last week's Coinex coin fair was what Mr.
  Davisson was expecting to do with the coin.  To take it out of
  the U.K. will almost certainly require an export licence which
  will be challenged by the British Museum.  This would give
  sufficient time for funds to be raised to enable it to be purchased
  "on behalf of the Nation".   Does he intend to keep it
  permanently in England?"
