Below is my Instagram post I wrote in haste whilst having a flow of emotion. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1497327[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally had the opportunity I’ve been waiting for over the past 12 years of my numismatic journey. Coincidentally, my Witter Coin U week coincides with my 600th Instagram follower. </p><p><br /></p><p>At last, I’ve found a group of young men and women who can relate and share my interest - something which honestly caused me to cry today. I’ve been on the receiving end of so much generosity within this hobby, but nothing compares to what @wittercoin has gifted me this past week in San Francisco. </p><p><br /></p><p>For those YNs living in areas without a ‘coin culture’ as I call it - stick with it. Your people are out there, and although it may seem as if they don’t exist, it just takes some time and effort to find the right people. </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, it feels as if years of ostracization and sneers have culminated in something I never could have wished possible. I only pray to my God that I can forward this gift on to another generation, but I have doubts I could ever give a gift as large as this. </p><p><br /></p><p>My chats with Mr. Seth Chandler @wittercoin in the shop yesterday (7/28) was just the confidence booster and reminders I needed to get me to travel further for the hobby I hold so dear. Knowing men like Commander Chandler are out there helping to repay what I must assume was what they were gifted as young men, and packaging their experience for another generation is refreshing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Who do I have to thank for inspiring me to apply for this noble program? [USER=101226]@Bradley Trotter[/USER] - your constant prodding gave me just the push I needed. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=94739]@YoloBagels[/USER] - without meeting you on our favorite coin forum and seeing your experience last year, I would not have felt the need to apply. </p><p><br /></p><p>@alamocitycoins - a great instagrammer I’ve finally met - his coins and personality are just as great in person[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
