These 20 years have gone by fast.
Participating in the forums has been a positive for me. 
I have learned much about the hobby, have had good conversations and discussions with forum members, have met multiple forum members in person, have posted photos of many of the coins in my collection (an in doing so have contributed to discussions about whether or not particular coins warrant or do not warrant a Cameo designation [a question that simply can not be satisfactorily answered; which probably is as it should be]).
Thanks to all who have dialogued with me; and thanks to PCGS for hosting the forums.
P.S. I will TTT my original initial forum post of 20 years ago as a part of my trip down memory lane. Many who replied to me initial forum post are no longer around, which while expected is still strange.

Happy anniversary, may you have 40 more years 🙏
I've always enjoyed your posts, I like your approach to collecting
A nice accomplishment 😀
I hope you celebrate a 40 year anniversary in 2044.
It is a possibility for me to view your post then.😉

Isn't it amazing how fast 20 years goes?? Good to have you around!!!
Thank you for the kind words.
To commemorate my 20th Anniversary a little more I post photos of 1956 birth year Proof Sets I have in the Registry.
One is untoned and two are toned (except for the nickels, though I have a toned 1956 nickel that will be sent in for grading shortly that will be a nice addition to one of the toned sets).

Congrats on 20 years - the time sure flies by. You have come a long way on your cameo collecting - you should be proud of all your accomplishments. I am especially pleased with your posting of photos of all your finds "in the wild". That made your posts come to life. So, what's on the docket for the next 20 years? More cameos? More toners? Something else?

The next 20 years is something that I cannot imagine. Too large of a time period.
My hobby involvement waxes and wanes depending on a variety of factors. I have no long range plans at this point in time. I will likely try to upgrade some of my Registry Sets and liquidate some of my extras.
I joined twenty years ago, but have to subtract all the years (13+) I was dormant. Anyways….

Congrats and the pictures of the coins are awesome
23 years in December for me. Mano mano where did they go?
I’ve always enjoyed your fine eye for exceptionally nice Modern Proofs! Congratulations, and thank you for your interesting contributions.
I knew it would happen.
Happy Anniversary! Thank you for all the great posts over the years. I always open your threads to vicariously enjoy the proof world. Your photos are fantastic as well.
Happy anniversary my coin brother. I’m glad you’re here my good friend 👍
Man I forgot my 20 3 years ago, congrats, been a while around here for a bunch of us for sure.
19th year for me. Went from one side to the other. Hobbyist to coin shop owner. The fun isn’t as much with coins or work, or the hobby, as it is with the people.
