Who Is Eugene T Yotka Rare Coins?

I opened my first rare coin shop at the in 1970 at when I was 13 years old. I was passionate to learn all I could about United States rare coins. I was truly drawn to the beauty of design as well as the historical significance of coins and coin collecting. I especially loved the comradery I felt when among other coin collectors and dealers. Over the pursuant 25 years (1970-1995) I was blessed to handle some extremely fine and valuable rare coins and collections, with many individual coins valued in the six-figure range. As the years went on however, I got caught up in money making aspect of dealing with coins and virtually lost all sense of that which had originally drawn me to the hobby. Then an amazing thing happened to me. In 1996 I was called into full time Christian ministry. I became a youth pastor at a local church in New Jersey and then went to seminary in Florida, where I served as a fulltime pastor in the local church for 12 years. Although I have continued to collect coins (primarily New Jersey Colonials) over the past several years I thought that my buying and selling days were over. Recently however, the Lord has reminded me of the beauty, history and community that is part of true coin collecting. Thus, I have decided to reestablish a business in rare coins, now applying all I have learned in numismatics and as a Christian to the buying and selling of collectable coins. My hope is to help others discover the joy of coin collecting and I feel that Coin Cube Trading is a great place for this to occur. As strange as it may sound to some, I wish to allow myself to be open to God’s Love and to allow that Love to be part of my numismatics endeavors. May God bless you all.
