April 13th must be a lucky day! Just read about Beau's finds when lo and behold a 1900 in solid VG condition (no pits, discoloring, etc) leeps out at me! This was a surprise because I had sorted most of this Brinks box, and had found only three wheats in the whole box. My only regret is that my eight year old son (who usually sorts with me) did not find this one.
conga rats! It's a good feeling, isn't it? I just wish the glow would last longer. I wonder if the pleasure center in our brains gets acclimated to the jolts of adrenalin or endorphins that are released... so that it takes bigger and more exciting finds to exceed the previous high?
