What We Buy

We purchase a wide range of precious metals, gemstones, and collectible items. Whether you have a single gold ring or an entire estate collection, our buyers will evaluate every piece individually and make you a fair offer based on current market prices.

Gold

We buy gold in all forms: 10K, 14K, 18K, and 24K jewelry, scrap gold, dental gold, gold bars, and gold bullion coins such as American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, and South African Krugerrands. Broken chains, mismatched earrings, and outdated pieces are all welcome. Gold is tested on-site using electronic and acid testing methods so you know the exact karat and weight before we quote a price.

Silver

We buy sterling silver flatware, silver jewelry,.999 fine silver bars and rounds, and junk silver coins (pre-1965 U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars).

If you have a drawer full of tarnished silver pieces you no longer wear, those items still hold real metal value.

Jewelry and Diamonds

Diamond engagement rings, wedding bands, tennis bracelets, pendants, and loose stones are all items we purchase daily. Our buyers evaluate diamonds based on the four Cs: carat weight, cut, color, and clarity. We also buy designer and estate jewelry from brands like Tiffany, David Yurman, and Cartier.

Coins and Bullion

Coin collectors and heirs of coin collections trust us to evaluate individual pieces and full sets. We buy Morgan and Peace silver dollars, Walking Liberty halves, Mercury dimes, gold Double Eagles, commemorative coins, and modern bullion products from the U.S. Mint and foreign mints.

Coins in certified holders (PCGS, NGC) may carry numismatic premiums above their metal value.

Platinum and Other Valuables

Platinum rings, palladium jewelry, watches (Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer), antiques, collectibles, gift cards, electronics, and tools round out our buying categories. If you are not sure whether we buy what you have, call ahead or just bring it in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to sell gold or silver at your store?

Most transactions are finished in 10 to 20 minutes. We test and weigh your items on the spot, give you a price, and pay you immediately if you accept. Larger collections with dozens of pieces may take a bit longer, but you will never wait days for an answer.

Do you buy broken or damaged jewelry?

Absolutely. A snapped chain, a ring with a missing stone, or a bent bracelet still contains the same gold or silver as an intact piece.

We weigh the metal and pay based on its purity and weight, so damage to the design does not reduce the metal value. If the piece has a gemstone, we evaluate that separately.

How do you determine the price you offer?

We check the live spot price for gold, silver, or platinum at the time of your visit. We then test the item to confirm its karat or fineness, weigh it on a calibrated scale, and calculate the metal value.

For coins, watches, or designer jewelry, we also factor in collector demand and brand premiums. Our goal is to give you the highest payout we can while keeping the process completely transparent.

Can I get an appraisal without committing to sell?

Yes. Every appraisal is free and comes with zero obligation.

Many customers visit just to learn what their items are worth before making a decision. You can take our written quote home, think it over, and come back whenever you are ready.

The price may change with market fluctuations, but we will always offer the current fair rate.

Do I need to bring identification?

Yes. New Jersey law requires us to collect a valid government-issued photo ID for all precious metals transactions.

A driver's license, state ID, or passport all work. This is a consumer protection measure that helps prevent the sale of stolen property.

Do you buy gold-plated or gold-filled items?

Gold-plated items contain a very thin layer of gold over a base metal, so they have minimal precious metal value and we generally do not buy them. Gold-filled items have a thicker gold layer and may have some value depending on weight and gold content. Bring them in and we will test them at no charge so you know exactly what you have.

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 8 locations 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, and New Brunswick 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. 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.

Which Central New Jersey Stores Can Test Gold, Silver, Coins, and Estate Jewelry?

Cash 4 Gold Trading Post store coverage is a 8-location Central New Jersey network for gold, silver, coins, diamonds, watches, and estate jewelry testing. First, East Brunswick serves Old Bridge, South River, Spotswood, and Middlesex County sellers. Second, Middlesex serves Bound Brook, Dunellen, Piscataway, Green Brook, and South Plainfield. Third, Millstone serves Jackson, Freehold, Monroe, and western Monmouth County. Fourth, Manalapan serves Route 9 sellers from Marlboro, Englishtown, Freehold, Morganville, and Old Bridge. Fifth, New Brunswick serves Rutgers, Highland Park, Somerset, and downtown sellers. Sixth, Brick serves Ocean County and Jersey Shore sellers. Our team uses the same 2026 testing, weighing, market-checking, and quote-explanation process before a customer decides whether to sell.

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.
