Grassmere, Bridgeboro Road and the River LINE stop
Before it had its own name, this stretch of riverbank was the summer edge of Beverly. Steamboats and the rail line along the Delaware brought Philadelphia families up to build on deep river lots, and the best known of those houses was Grassmere, the riverfront estate of Civil War General E. Burd Grubb. The township was known as Beverly Township until 1924, when it took the name Edgewater Park for the obvious reason.
Inland, Bridgeboro Road runs past Beverly National Cemetery, opened in 1863 for soldiers who died at a nearby Civil War hospital and now the resting place of more than 50,000 veterans and family members. The rail corridor along the river still carries the NJ Transit River LINE, which stops at the station the township shares with Beverly, and Route 130 carries almost everything else. Edgewater Park borders Beverly, Burlington Township, Delanco and Willingboro, and its mail comes addressed to Beverly under ZIP 08010.
Pocket watches from the rail line, Jewelers Row rings and service rings
Philadelphia is a bridge away, and a lot of Edgewater Park jewelry was bought there. Engagement sets and anniversary bands from the Jewelers Row shops on Sansom Street come in with the original boxes, and they are usually 14K at 58.5 percent gold or 18K at 75. Families who worked the railroad along the river sometimes still have a pocket watch in a drawer, and with the cemetery on Bridgeboro Road so close, we see a steady number of veterans' service rings, commemorative coins and proof sets from military households.
A watch is judged as a watch before its case is judged as metal, and a coin is checked for collector value before melt is even mentioned. The watch buying page covers the first, and the coin buying page covers the second.
Worth a 45 minute drive, according to one Millstone customer
“It's a little late. Three weeks ago my wife instructed me to travel 45 minutes from our home to sell some gold to the radio advertised "We been in business forever" store. However before I went there I had to check out a store front 7 minutes from home. (All 5 Star Google reviews I had noticed.) Joe was at Cash-4-Gold. Let me not bore you, if you're within a 45 minute drive of the Millstone Cash 4 Gold location check it out. If I'm being honest, I'm naive in situations like this, however not only was Cash-4-Gold offer better than the store my wife sent me, but also another place I stopped by. Thank you Joe for not taken advantage of we the public. I've been telling my friends about my experience at your store and I'm sure if they are in the market to sell gold they will absolutely travel twice the distance of that mentioned above to do business.”

How a sale from Edgewater Park goes once you walk in
Everything is laid out on the counter. Gold is read by an XRF analyzer, which does not scratch or mark the piece, and weighed on a state-certified scale you can see. Items are grouped by karat, so a 14K band is never averaged in with 10K. The offer follows the live market that day, with any value as a watch, a coin or a diamond named on its own line. Say yes and you are paid in cash before you leave. Say no and it all goes home with you.
Bring the watch, the rings and the coin tin from Edgewater Park, and see each one tested for free.

Where is the closest place to sell gold near Edgewater Park, NJ?
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post at 494 Monmouth Rd, Suite 5 in Millstone, about 35 miles and roughly 41 minutes from Edgewater Park by I-295 north and I-195 east. Phone (732) 444-2022.
What are the Millstone store hours for Edgewater Park sellers?
Monday through Friday from 10 to 6 and Saturday from 10 to 3, closed Sunday. No appointment is needed. Bring a valid government photo ID, which New Jersey requires for every precious-metals sale.
Is an old railroad pocket watch worth more than its gold case?
It can be. A railroad-grade movement from a known maker is looked at as a watch first, and only then is a solid gold case read for karat and weighed. A gold-filled case is not solid gold, and we tell you which one you have before any number is given.
Do you buy military service rings and class rings?
Yes. Most are 10K at 41.7 percent gold or 14K at 58.5 percent, and the stone or synthetic center is set aside before the metal is weighed. Many families prefer to keep a ring that carries a name or a unit, so ask us to read it first and decide after.
My Edgewater Park address says Beverly 08010. Is that the same trip?
Yes. ZIP 08010 covers Edgewater Park and Beverly because one post office serves both, but Edgewater Park is its own township, separate from Beverly City, and has carried that name since 1924. The drive to Millstone is the same from either side of the line.
Do Delanco, Willingboro and Burlington Township sellers use the same store?
Yes. Sellers from Beverly, Delanco, Willingboro and Burlington Township take the same I-295 to I-195 route to the Millstone counter on Route 537.
