sixpence for your shoe?

Davids sells sixpences if you want one

I'm not. i would go insane having something down in my shoe...lol.

Lucky penny for your shoe. I send one with my contracts, lol!

Oh ok! i guess i have to get one! lol!

Does it matter which side shoe you put it in? left or right?

I didn't know how to get a six-pence, so I taped a shiny, new penny inside my shoe.

Oh ok! yes i looked them up on etsy! they have a bunch of them!

I'm doing it. But it has to be from before a specific date or its not a true silver sixpence.

ETA: I believe before 1914 is true silver. I'm getting mine from ebay!

Oh really? this lady on etsy says hers are from 1929 and 1946 they contain 50% silver ..is that not a real one?

Not doing it. Just an extra thing and it would be uncomfortable having that stuff in my shoe....

It is a real one. the ones before 1914 are like 98% silver I believe. It all depends on what you are ok with! I'm very superstitious so I'm not taking chances!

I have one thats actually from England! My grandma had family bring it back from a vacation. I was still a baby, but she was planning ahead :0).... I believe you put it your left shoe for good luck and definitly tape it down. Its a great piece to pass down to your kids too.

They have also been seen as a lucky charm for brides. There is an old rhyme which goes "Something old, something new / Something borrowed, something blue / And a sixpence for her (left) shoe."

David Bridal have them for $12.00

Amazon have them starting from $7.00 & up

@nicole wow thats awesome!!! @tracey omg im very supersitious too!! im going to have to keep searching for the 98% ones lol!

Here are the stats to help!

The Silver Content of Sixpence Coins

The sixpence coins minted prior to 1920 are 92.5% silver (Sterling Silver) The sixpence coins minted from **** are 50% silver. Sixpence coins minted from 1947 until 1967 do not have any silver content

As other's said the amount of silver depends on when it was minted.

Have you tried ebay?

Lol you prob saw my posthuh ya I got mi efro. Ebay like2bucks it will be glued to the underside of my shoes

I wasn't going to but my grandpa passed away in March and he had this lucky lottery scratcher with a penny in it so I plan on popping the penny out and using it.

I plan on doing this. It's a tradition in my family
