I don't know very much about Saxon coins, but a recent(ish) Spink catalogue gives coenwulff pennies values ranging from £800 to £1700 in VF - which yours certainly is, minimum. Quote

The bend sounds the worst thing - are you able to show it edge-on? Quote

I'm not too sure how that would affect the value of it, maybe one of the other guys here would know? My guess - and that's all it is - is that it would probably downgrade it a whole grade to Fine or F+. Quote
