We Buy Whole Collections
Inherited a collection? We'll evaluate the entire thing and make one offer for it all.

Where to Sell Coins for Cash in New Jersey
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post is a licensed and insured New Jersey precious metals dealer that buys gold coins, silver coins, rare coins, and complete coin collections at 6 locations in East Brunswick, New Brunswick, Middlesex, Millstone, Brick, and Manalapan. Our buying team includes experienced numismatists who recognize key dates, mint marks, die varieties, and grading distinctions that affect a coin's value.
A 1916-D Mercury Dime, for example, can be worth many times its melt value to a collector depending on grade, while a common-date Mercury Dime is worth its silver content at the live spot price.
We evaluate every coin for both precious metal melt value and numismatic collector value, then pay you whichever is higher. Over 500,000 customers have sold coins, jewelry, and valuables at our 6 New Jersey locations.
Inherited coin collections are the largest category of coins we buy. Many families in Central New Jersey discover boxes of coins left by parents or grandparents who collected silver dollars, Indian Head pennies, and proof sets throughout the 20th century. We evaluate every collection item by item rather than offering a single bulk price.
A typical inherited collection containing 50 Morgan Silver Dollars, 100 pre-1965 Washington Quarters, and a handful of gold coins can carry substantial combined melt and collector value depending on dates, mint marks, and condition. The appraisal is always free, and you get a detailed receipt listing every coin purchased and the price paid.
How Much Are Silver and Gold Coins Worth in 2026?
Silver and gold coin values are tied directly to precious metal spot prices, which change daily. Both silver and gold are trading at historically high levels in 2026.
A single American Silver Eagle contains 1 troy ounce of.999 fine silver and is worth the live silver spot price plus a small bullion premium.
Pre-1965 United States dimes, quarters, and half dollars contain 90% silver by weight. A 1 dollars face value bag of pre-1965 quarters (4 coins) holds approximately 0.72 troy ounces of silver, and we pay on that silver weight at today's live spot price. Rare dates within these common silver coins can multiply that value by 10 times or more.
American Gold Eagles are the most commonly sold gold coins we buy. A 1-ounce American Gold Eagle trades at the live gold spot price plus a small premium, depending on condition. Fractional Gold Eagles in 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce sizes are also popular.
Pre-1933 US gold coins like the 20 dollars Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle and the 10 dollars Indian Head Eagle carry both gold content value and numismatic premiums. A common-date 20 dollars Double Eagle in circulated condition is valued on its gold content at today's live spot price. We also buy Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands, British Sovereigns, and Mexican Pesos at all 6 New Jersey locations.
What Makes a Coin Worth More Than Face Value?
What Are the Two Types of Coin Value?
Every coin Cash 4 Gold Trading Post evaluates is assessed for two distinct types of value, and we pay whichever is higher:
- Melt value: The worth of the precious metal content inside the coin. A pre-1965 Washington quarter contains 0.1808 troy ounces of 90% silver, valued at the live spot price. A 1 oz American Gold Eagle contains a full troy ounce of gold, valued at today's live gold spot price.
- Numismatic value: Collectible value driven by rarity, condition, mint mark, and historical significance. A 1916-D Mercury Dime in good condition can be worth many times its silver melt value to a collector.
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post evaluates both and pays you whichever is higher. Our buying team includes experienced numismatists who recognize key dates and varieties.

Should You Clean Coins Before Selling Them?
No. Never clean coins before bringing them in for evaluation.
Cleaning removes the original surface patina and can permanently significantly reduce the numismatic value of collectible coins. A naturally toned Morgan Dollar in original condition is worth significantly more than one that has been polished or dipped.
Bring your coins exactly as they are. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post prefers original, uncleaned surfaces.
