This is actually 25,001 posts because I forgot for a minute. 
I've got PCGS storage boxes piling up, so the prize for the winner will be 10 boxes. That's right! Ten of these puppies!
The rules:
Below you will find 10 questions. The first one to answer all 10 correctly wins. Pretty simple!
Edited posts will be disqualified, so think carefully before hitting the "post message" button.
1. What was the total number of complete proof sets possible for the year 1936?
2. What was the exact mintage for mint sets in the year 1950?
3. How many PCGS graded cameo Accented Hair Kennedy Halves do I own?
4. What do the initials ANACS stand for?
5. What is MadMarty's last name?
6. There are only four 1966 SMS Kennedys graded by PCGS in MS68DCAM. A forum member made one of those. Name
that forum member.
7. What is my birthdate?
8. What was the total mintage for the proof 1864 Two Cent Piece?
9. Who, at the forums, is known as "Otis"?
10. How much time elapsed between the time I signed up at the forum and my first post?
Have fun!

10. How much time elapsed between the time I signed up at the forum and my first post?
5 hours, 14 minutes.
#2 - In 1950, there were no official mint sets issued.
#3 - 14
#4 - American Numismatic Association Certification Service
#5 - Kuklinski
#6 - I haven't a clue
#7 - July 12, 1956
#8 - hmmmm, there was the Judd 316, but it doesn't count. There was the small motto proof (12-15 known), and the 100 sold in sets July 1864, the restrikes (Hub of 1871), and likely some individual coins, so I'll say 200.
#9 - SM1
#10 - seven minutes.
BTW - if I win, please God don't send the boxes.
and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor
