Coyolxauhqui was the Moon goddess according the Aztec mythology. Her name means "Golden Bells." She was the daughter of the Earth goddess, Coatlicue and the sister of the Sun god, Huitzilopochtli. Coyolxauhqui encouraged her four hundred sisters and brothers to kill their dishonored mother. Coatlicue gave birth to Huitzilopochtli after a ball of feathers fell into the temple where she was sweeping and touched her. Huitzilopochtli sprang out of his mother as an adult fully armed and saver her. Coatlicue regretted such violence. Thus, Huitzilopochtli cut off Coyolxauhqui's head and threw it into the sky to form the Moon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyolxauhqui http://www.medbib.com/Coyolxauhqui

Hi Coinseller if you read back a few posts you will see that Armijo has allready given the value :thumb: $1 to $6 depending on the condition, I would love to pick one up in proof though (If they made them in proof LOL) Also you realy do need to give folks a little longer than 20 odd mins to get to a thread not everyone is on at the same time as each other :thumb:
