i do spend a lot of time going over and over old yellowed glassines of stamps looking for something new...today it paid off with this Algeria C23 (2017 scott $6.00) I guess it will encourage the old prospector to keep going. Image Not Found

I always liked how the water looked on that stamp;

almost a 'glass-like' look.

re: sift and sort..sift and sort

I've been a full time seller for 6 years now, and I've never lost the thrill of a fossick. I have a tub that weighs around 20kgs (40+ lbs) that I've sifted a dozen times and I find something every time I do.
