Which Cash 4 Gold Trading Post store is closest to Cranford?
Springfield. It is the closest of our nine stores to Cranford, and Cranford has no counter of its own. The store is at 769 Mountain Ave in Springfield.
The trip is short: about 11 minutes and 3.8 miles from the center of Cranford via Springfield Ave. There is nothing to book, so come in whenever we are open.
Once you are in, the visit is quick and out in the open. Each piece goes under an XRF analyzer, which reads the metal, backed by an acid test, and onto a New Jersey certified scale, and the offer is calculated from the day's live spot price where you can see it. Take the cash, or take your things home. Either way there is no charge.
Cranford at a glance
The river is behind the old nickname, the Venice of New Jersey. Harper's Weekly wrote about the canoeing here in 1908, and the Cranford Canoe Club, in a building from that same year, still rents canoes and kayaks. Much of the riverbank is parkland in the Rahway River Parkway, which the Olmsted Brothers firm laid out in the 1920s.

What can Cranford sellers bring in?
Gold, silver and platinum in any form, plus coins, diamonds, watches, pearls and whole estates. A broken chain or a single earring is worth bringing: for scrap gold and silver, the damage does not lower what the metal is worth.
Selling from a Cranford home
Clearing out a Cranford house that has been in one family for decades can turn up small valuables mixed in together: a charm bracelet, a strand of pearls with a gold clasp, a boxed set of sterling flatware, a jar of dimes and quarters saved before 1965. Please do not throw anything out on the way here. Necklaces that look like costume jewelry can have gold clasps, pearls are judged on their own merits, and U.S. dimes, quarters and half dollars dated 1964 or earlier are mostly silver.
We sort it all at the counter, test each metal and karat on its own, and tell you which pieces are worth more as jewelry or collectibles than as metal. Our pearl buyers page explains how pearls are valued, and the estate buyers page covers full collections and the itemized receipt an executor needs.
Sorting out a Cranford jewelry box or a whole estate? Bring it to our Springfield store, about 11 minutes away, and watch it tested, free.
