Silver is trading around $33 per troy ounce right now, and a lot of people in Ocean County are sitting on more of it than they realize. Sterling silver flatware sets, old coin collections, silver jewelry that never gets worn, bullion bars tucked away in a safe — it all has real value at today's prices. If you want to sell silver in Brick NJ and get paid what it's actually worth, Cash 4 Gold Trading Post on Cedar Bridge Ave is where you bring it.

We've been buying precious metals at this location for over 15 years. We're not a pawn shop, not a traveling gold party, not a pop-up in a hotel conference room. We're a permanent storefront with a reputation we've earned one transaction at a time.

What Silver We Buy

If it's silver, we're interested. Here's what we see most often:

  • Sterling silver jewelry — chains, bracelets, rings, pendants, earrings. Look for the .925 stamp. Broken pieces are fine — the silver content is the same whether the clasp works or not.
  • Junk silver coins — pre-1965 U.S. dimes, quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars. These are 90% silver and priced by weight against spot. We buy any quantity, from a handful to a full bag.
  • American Silver Eagles — the most recognized silver bullion coin in the world. We buy all years, any condition.
  • Other silver bullion coins — Canadian Maple Leafs, Austrian Philharmonics, British Britannias, Mexican Libertads. If it's government-minted silver, we buy it.
  • Silver bars and rounds — 1oz, 5oz, 10oz, 100oz, kilo bars. Private mint rounds too. Brand doesn't matter as much as verified silver content.
  • Flatware and household sterling — full sets, partial sets, individual serving pieces, candlesticks, tea sets, trays, bowls. If it's stamped "sterling" or ".925," it has melt value. Grandma's silver set that nobody uses for dinner anymore could be worth several hundred dollars.

Not sure if something is real silver or silver-plated? Bring it in. We test everything, and the appraisal is free.

How We Test and Price Your Silver

We use two primary methods to verify silver content. For jewelry and flatware, we start with an acid test — a small scratch on an inconspicuous area touched with testing acid tells us the purity immediately. For coins, bars, and pieces where a scratch test isn't ideal, we use XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis, which reads the metal composition without damaging the item at all.

Once we confirm what you have, we weigh it on calibrated scales and calculate your offer against the current spot price of silver. The math is straightforward and we show you how we get to the number. No mystery, no guessing.

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver. A set of sterling flatware that weighs 40 troy ounces has about 37 ounces of actual silver content. At $33 spot, that's real money sitting in your china cabinet.

Serving Brick and the Shore

Our Cedar Bridge Ave location is the silver buyer for a wide stretch of Ocean and southern Monmouth County. We regularly see sellers from Toms River, Point Pleasant, Lakewood, Jackson, Bayville, Beachwood, Manchester, and Howell. If you're anywhere along the Route 70 or Garden State Parkway corridor, we're an easy stop.

People drive past pawn shops and "we buy gold" signs to get here because they know we pay more. That's not a marketing line — it's what happens when you deal with buyers who actually know the metal market and price against live spot instead of offering 50 cents on the dollar.

Visit our Brick location page for directions and more details on what we buy.

The Walk-In Process

Bring your silver and a government-issued photo ID. New Jersey law requires the ID for all precious metal purchases — no exceptions, no workarounds.

We test your items, weigh them, and make you a cash offer. The whole process takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on how much you're bringing in. If you accept, you're paid same day in cash. If you want to think about it, no problem — walk out with your silver, no charge, no pressure.

We're open Monday through Saturday, 10AM to 6PM. No appointment needed. Walk-ins are how we do most of our business.

Why Sell In Person Instead of Online

You could ship your silver to an online buyer. But you'd be trusting the postal service with pounds of precious metal, waiting days for an offer, and paying return shipping if you don't like the number. With silver, weight means everything — and heavy shipments mean expensive insurance.

Walk in here and the whole thing is done in one visit. You see the test, you see the scale, you hear the math, and you leave with cash. That's how it should work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my silver is sterling or just silver-plated? Look for a ".925" or "sterling" stamp on the piece. If you can't find one or aren't sure, bring it in anyway. We test everything for free. Silver-plated items have a thin coating of silver over a base metal and don't carry significant melt value, but solid sterling does. We'll tell you exactly what you have.

Do you buy silver flatware even if it's incomplete or tarnished? Yes. Tarnish doesn't affect silver content at all — it's just surface oxidation that has zero impact on value. Incomplete sets are fine too. We buy by weight, so whether you have a full 12-piece place setting or a handful of forks and serving spoons, we'll weigh it and pay based on the silver content.

What's the difference between junk silver coins and silver bullion? Junk silver refers to pre-1965 U.S. coins that contain 90% silver — dimes, quarters, half dollars. They're called "junk" because they have no significant collector premium beyond their silver content. Silver bullion means coins, bars, or rounds specifically produced as investment-grade silver, like American Silver Eagles or 10oz silver bars. We buy both, and both are priced based on current spot price, which is around $33 per ounce right now.
