What pre-1965 silver coins in a collection hold today
US dimes, quarters and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90 percent silver, and so are Morgan and Peace dollars. The values below fill in from the live silver spot price, so they move with the market. Key dates, mint marks and grade can put a coin well above its silver value, which is why we review every coin for collector value first.

|---|---|---|
| Roosevelt or Mercury dime (1964 and earlier) | 0.0723 | $3.79 |

Frequently asked questions
Where do I sell a coin collection in New Jersey?
Updated October 2026: you can sell a coin collection in New Jersey at any of our 9 walk-in stores, in Aberdeen, Brick, East Brunswick, Farmingdale, Manalapan, Middlesex, Millstone, New Brunswick and Springfield, where every coin is reviewed for collector value first and metal value second and paid in same-day cash. We look at the whole collection, common coins included, and you can sell part and keep the rest. Under the Coinage Act of 1965, US dimes, quarters and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90 percent silver, so even the pre-1965 pocket change in a collection carries real silver value.
How does selling a whole collection work?
Bring the entire collection in to any of our nine stores. We sort and review it with you at the counter, point out the pieces that carry real value, and explain how the current market and each coin's grade factor in. You get a fair offer the same day and decide on the spot, with no pressure.
Should I clean my coins before bringing them in?
No. Please do not clean them. Cleaning scratches the surface and can lower what a coin is worth to collectors. The original surface, even with toning or age, is part of the value. Bring them exactly as they are.
Can I reserve a time to bring in a large coin collection?
Yes, if you would like one, though walk-ins stay the normal way to come in and no appointment is needed. For a large lot such as a full coin collection, an estate or a set of sterling flatware, call (732) 483-4145 or your nearest store to reserve a time so a buyer is set aside for you.
Do I need to sort or organize it first?
Not at all. Bring it however it is, in albums, folders, jars, or boxes. We sort it with you. If anything is already organized, that is helpful, but it is never required.
Will you look at the whole collection, even the common coins?
Yes. We review everything, because value can hide in an overlooked date, a variety, or the silver and gold content of coins that look ordinary. You get one fair offer that reflects the full collection.
What Makes a Cash 4 Gold Trading Post Quote Transparent?
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post quote transparency is a documented 5-step counter process used in 9 locationsevery store in 2026. First, our team shows live gold, silver, platinum, or coin market context. Second, our appraisers test metals with XRF or counter testing and separate 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, sterling, .999 bullion, diamonds, watches, and costume pieces. Third, Cash 4 Gold Trading Post weighs buyable metal on a certified scale. Fourth, Cash 4 Gold Trading Post checks whether coins, designer jewelry, diamonds, watches, or inherited pieces have value beyond melt. Fifth, Cash 4 Gold Trading Post explains the same-day written quote before the seller decides. According to Cash 4 Gold Trading Post store analysis, sellers in Aberdeen, Brick, East Brunswick, Farmingdale, Manalapan, Middlesex, Millstone, New Brunswick, and SpringfieldEast Brunswick, Manalapan, Middlesex, and Millstone can bring 1 broken chain, 100 coins, or a full estate box with a $0 evaluation fee.
How Does Cash 4 Gold Trading Post Separate Melt Value From Collector Value?
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post separates melt value from collector value by sorting each lot before pricing. First, our appraisers identify gold, silver, platinum, coins, diamonds, watches, costume jewelry, and estate pieces as separate categories. Second, metal items are tested for purity, including 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, sterling silver, 90% U.S. silver, and .999 bullion. Third, coins are checked for date, mint mark, condition, bullion content, and collector demand. Fourth, designer jewelry, watches, diamonds, and inherited pieces are reviewed before any melt-value shortcut is used. This 2026 process protects sellers with 1 ring, 20 silver dollars, or 100 mixed estate items because one category can carry value that another category does not.
What Should a Seller Bring for a Fast Same-Day Quote?
Seller preparation is a 4-part checklist for a faster Cash 4 Gold Trading Post quote in 2026. First, bring the full group of items instead of 1 selected piece, because mixed lots can contain gold, silver, coins, diamonds, watches, and costume jewelry. Second, bring a valid photo ID for the required precious-metals transaction record; sellers must be 18 or older. Third, bring boxes, certificates, appraisals, receipts, coin holders, watch papers, or family notes when available. Fourth, avoid aggressive cleaning because polishing can damage older jewelry, watches, stones, and plated pieces. Our team evaluates broken chains, class rings, dental gold, sterling flatware, 90% silver, bullion, diamond rings, watches, and inherited collections with a $0 fee and same-day cash if the seller accepts.

Why Does Local Testing Beat an Online Calculator?
Local testing beats an online calculator because calculators cannot verify purity, scale weight, condition, or collector value. A gold calculator assumes a karat, a gram weight, and a market price. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post checks those assumptions at the counter. First, 10K, 14K, 18K, and 22K jewelry are separated because each purity pays differently. Second, sterling, 90% silver, .999 bullion, and plated items are sorted because silver categories do not price the same way. Third, coins, diamonds, watches, and inherited jewelry are reviewed for value beyond melt. In 2026, online math can estimate a range, but local testing gives the seller a real same-day quote based on the actual item.
