When the Celia Cruz that I have joined wit coin was issued by the US mint i made it my goal to try to find it on my own i tried to find it by myself and in doing so I did find other interesting coins as well. my cousin did one of the sweetest things anybody could ever do for a person and I just want you to know that I was unexpected but greatly appreciated one day i go and get the mail and I open the mailbox and see an envelope in there I'm thinking she ordered some for her house right and so I just give it to her you know and walk about go about my business and what not and then she comes into the kitchen enhance me this envelope and I'm like what's this so I opened the envelope andIn the envelopeIs the Celia Cruise coinAnd that was a great surprise to meAndI said thank you so much you did not have to do this andShe's like you know because I was starting to be obsessed with finding it andIt was a greatThing that I haven't forgotten and I have itIn a jewelry boxA nice jewelry box I got for ChristmasAlong with the other coinsThat I found in the processPeriodHer grandmother and my honorary grandmother which is the same personAlso was giving me coins and what notWell I was looking for this particular coinPeriodIt's very rareThat ILook for coins and things like thatBut this one particular coinI had to findIt was my mission and my goalAndThe mission has been accomplished.

To find a coin that you are looking for is like finding the needle in the haystack and finding a treasure because it is most certainly that as i have described. I mean sure you can I could have automatically sent for it by mail but I wanted the thrill and the chase of trying to find it myself but that was okay I mean when my cousin actually sent away for it for me and she really didn't have to do that but still I thank her with all my heart and I am in debt to her. To find the coin was a miracle being granted to from the universe and God. I know I constantly say this in every article i write about things but whoever decided to create the Celiac Cruise coin made the right choice in doing so. Some years ago the United States Postal Service put out damn sheet of all the grates and Latin music and Celia Cruz was include on the same stamp sheet along with Selena and Tito Puente and Carmen miranda .

Finding the Celia Cruz coin was a long a short-term goal that I had and with luck and determination and the grace of God I was able to achieve it and accomplish the goal in question with the help of my cousin as well and that was great period i first learned that there was going to be a Celia Cruise coin issued on Instagram and from then on i was thinking to myself how in the world am I going to find this coin but asWould allowWorking hand in hand with MiraclesAnything is Possible and it came trueAs well.I was so happyWhen I found it and it came in.
