Central New Jersey's Gold Buyer Since 2012
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post was founded in Middlesex, NJ in 2012 by co-owners Joe C. and Russ R. What started as one store built on radical transparency and top-tier customer service has grown to 6 locations across Central New Jersey. The same buying philosophy has never changed.
We buy gold jewelry in every karat from 10K through 24K, gold coins, gold bars, dental gold, and scrap gold in any condition. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, and tarnished pieces all have melt value. We test every item in front of you using a professional XRF analyzer, show you the karat reading and weight, and calculate your offer against live LBMA spot prices. No back rooms, no mystery math, no pressure.
Gold prices hit record highs in early 2026, meaning the jewelry and coins sitting in drawers and safe-deposit boxes across New Jersey are worth more right now than they've ever been. If you've been thinking about selling, this is the time to find out what you have.
Free appraisal, zero obligation. Walk in to any of our 6 New Jersey locations during business hours. The whole process takes 10 to 20 minutes. You walk out with cash in hand if you accept the offer, or you walk out with your items if you don't. Either way, it costs nothing.
How Selling Gold Works
Walk In. No Appointment Needed.
Bring your gold to any of our 6 Central NJ locations during business hours. No scheduling, no forms to fill out ahead of time. Just walk in.
Free XRF Test. You Watch Every Step.
We place each piece on a padded tray and test it with a Thermo Scientific XRF analyzer. The device reads exact metal composition in about 15 seconds without scratching or damaging anything. The karat reading is visible to you on the screen.
We Show You the Math
Karat purity, weight, and live LBMA spot price all go into the calculation. We show you exactly how the offer is derived. No black boxes, no "we have to check with our manager."
Accept the Offer. Get Cash on the Spot.
If the offer works for you, you get cash immediately. New Jersey state law requires a valid photo ID for all precious metals transactions. If the offer doesn't work, you take your items and leave. No charge, no obligation.
Gold Karat Reference: What Affects Your Payout
The purity of your gold is the single biggest factor in what you'll be paid. Here's what the karat stamps on your jewelry mean:
| Karat | Gold Purity | Common Items |
|---|---|---|
| 10K | 41.7% | Class rings, fashion jewelry, older US pieces |
| 14K | 58.3% | Wedding bands, chains, most American jewelry |
| 18K | 75.0% | Designer jewelry, Italian gold, luxury pieces |
| 22K | 91.7% | Indian wedding jewelry, Middle Eastern gold |
| 24K | 99.9% | Gold bars, bullion coins, some Asian jewelry |
No karat stamp on your piece? Don't assume it's not real gold. Older jewelry and handmade pieces often have no hallmarks. We test everything regardless. The XRF tells us exactly what's there.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Gold in New Jersey
How do I know I'm getting a fair price for my gold in NJ?
We calculate offers based on live LBMA spot prices and show you the exact math: karat purity from the XRF test, weight on a certified NTEP-approved scale, and the current spot price per gram. You see every number before you decide anything. Bring a competitor's written offer and we'll do our best to beat it.
Do I need an appointment to sell gold at your NJ locations?
No. All 6 Central NJ locations are walk-in only. No appointment, no scheduling, no wait list. Monday through Friday 10 AM to 6 PM and Saturday 10 AM to 5 PM.
What condition does my gold need to be in?
Any condition. Broken chains, bent rings, single earrings, missing stones, tarnished pieces, dental gold. All of it has melt value based on the metal content, not appearance. We've bought gold out of plastic bags, coffee cans, and estate boxes.
How long does it take to sell gold?
Most transactions take 10 to 20 minutes from when you walk in, depending on how many pieces you have. Testing, weighing, calculating the offer, and paying out cash all happen at the counter while you watch.
What ID do I need to bring?
New Jersey state law (N.J.S.A. 2C:21-36 et seq.) requires a valid government-issued photo ID for all precious metals transactions. A driver's license, state ID, or passport all work.
Do you offer house calls in New Jersey?
Yes. For large collections, estate lots, or customers who can't make it to a store, we come to you free of charge anywhere in Central New Jersey. Call (732) 444-2022 to schedule.
Why sell gold now vs. waiting?
Gold hit record highs in early 2026. That does not mean prices will stay there. They have also pulled back significantly in past cycles. If you have been sitting on jewelry or coins, getting a free appraisal costs nothing and tells you exactly what you're holding at today's prices.
Why Choose Cash 4 Gold Trading Post
There are dozens of places to sell gold in New Jersey. Here's what separates us from pawn shops, mall kiosks, and mail-in services:
We've been here since 2012
Founded in Middlesex, NJ by co-owners Joe C. and Russ R., two lifelong Central NJ residents who built the business on the idea that gold buying didn't have to feel like a hustle. Thirteen years later, 6 locations, and that hasn't changed.
Professional equipment, not eyeballing
We use Thermo Scientific XRF analyzers, the same technology used by refineries and assay offices, to determine exact gold purity. Not acid tests on a touchstone. Not a visual estimate. Exact composition in 15 seconds.
Live spot prices, not house rates
Pawn shops and some gold buyers use a fixed "house rate" that can be weeks or months behind the market. We update our buy prices against live LBMA spot prices throughout the day. If gold goes up at 11 AM, you benefit at 11:01 AM.
No pressure, no obligation
Every appraisal is free. If you don't like the offer, you take your items and leave. We don't hold onto pieces, we don't pressure anyone, and we don't charge appraisal fees. The entire process is designed so that walking away is easy.
Over 1,000 five-star Google reviews
Our 6 NJ locations have over 1,000 combined reviews with a 4.9-star average. That track record is built on 13 years of paying fair prices and treating sellers like adults.
