Lucky Sixpence Coin and Card

"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue,...and a Sixpence for Her Shoe." For hundreds of years, brides have worn a sixpence coin in their shoe to bless their marriage with wealth and prosperity. Until now most brides in the United States could not find these coins.

Each sixpence arrives in a beautiful card with matching envelope. We printed our cards and envelopes on acid free wedding invitation paper so you can keep them in your wedding album.

(note: I have no relationship to these vendors which I found through Google)

Remember that GBP 1 is roughly USD 2.

Go here: http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/British%20Milled.html

where a 1907 sixpence will cost you about $8 + shipping

If you’d rather have a young Queen Victoria, you can get this for $16 plus shipping:

There are a number of other samples for sale as well.

Or, go to the following link for some rarer samples...then click on Sixpences on the left hand column...if you are not seeking a rare antique, advance to the 20th Century coins...

By the way, it sounds like hearty congratulations are in order!! May you two share a lifetime of happiness.

They don't mint sixpences any more. They're not as useful since they changed to a decimal currency, and "six" is no longer a useful multiple.

But there are still plenty around. eBay has plenty of them, and they're so cheap you'll pay more to ship them than to buy them. It's still considerably more than their face value, but it's only a couple of bucks. (Their face value is less than the cost of the stamp it would take to get it to you.) They made sixpences out of silver, and they're worth more as silver than the face value, but their value to collectors is higher than that.

You can probably get them for even less at a local coin ship. Look up "coins" in the yellow pages.

The scientists at Yale University revealed their discovery in the journal Science and created an illustration of how the dinosaur would have looked using microscopic clues from a fossil found in China.

It features a reddish brown, Mohawk like, crest and freckles.

The research not only adds to the previous revelation that some had ginger feathers but also further helps to dispel the image of them being grey and scaly.

"How can consumers buy canned cat food (e.g., Wellness) at wholesale prices or get deep discounts?" (2 answers)

I have three cats that I feed canned cat food. I believe this is preferable to dry food for their health. However, the cat food ends up costing almost as much as I spend on my own lunches each month. We're going through a case of food per week. At this rate, I'd be willing to buy a whole palette of food if it meant I could get a discount. Any ideas for how to do this? I can't find discounts on cat food anywhere, at least below what is offered at PetCo and other common retailers.

"Doing my 2009 taxes and I can't recall if I got a stimulus check. Is there any way to verify if I did and for how much?"

I think I got a check in 2008. But I'm not sure about 2009. I file usually file my return single(w4s from both job set at single zero) and Im not sure if this "rebate" check even applies to me. I've used a few different (free) tax programs and they all say if Im not sure to contact, Social security, and or the Railroad (800 phone numbers). Can anyone explain what/who the 2009 tax credit is for and how to find out if I did indeed got a check from the Federal Government? Is there a website to confirm this or a number to call. Thank you all for any info you can provide.

"How do you handle a friend who stops speaking to you after 30+yrs, because I confronted her on some necessary issues?"

The last 3 yrs of our friendship I questioned her actions.The straw that broke the camels back was when she said something offensive to me, so I confronted her in an email. I was tactful, but I addressed other things she had done/said that I don't think real friends would do/say, but I ended the letter by saying that I hoped we could move forward on a positive note. She never replied or even acknowledged that she got the email. I made a couple of attempts to communicate, but she just stopped speaking. It's been over a year, and I just chalked it up to she wasn't a real friend and the way she chose to handle it confirmed that for me. However, we have mutual friends & we were in each other's presence for the 1st time in over a year, and she literally ignored me. I think it's stupid & immature, because I am not that kind of person I believe in communicating & most things can be worked out. I think it's childish, but how should I handle her in the future? I'm sure we'll cross paths again.
