Where do Franklin Township residents sell gold for cash?
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post at 51 Bayard St in New Brunswick. How you get there depends on which Franklin you live in, because the township is nearly 47 square miles. From Middlebush or East Millstone, Amwell Road (County Route 514) turns into Hamilton Street at the city line and runs you into downtown: about 5 miles from Middlebush, about 8 from East Millstone. From Franklin Park, Route 27 north covers it in about 7 miles. From Griggstown on the canal it is closer to 12, heading over to Route 27. From the Somerset neighborhoods near the city line it is about 4.
Franklin is the most populous municipality in Somerset County, with 68,364 people at the 2020 census, and one of the oldest, incorporated on February 21, 1798. The Delaware and Raritan Canal runs along its western edge beside the Millstone River, and the bridge tender's houses at Blackwells Mills and Griggstown still stand from the days when someone had to swing the bridge open for every barge, until the canal closed to traffic in 1932. Colonial Park, with its rose garden, sits near East Millstone. Most residents get their mail through the Somerset 08873 ZIP code, which is why people say "Somerset" when they mean the township.
A township that big holds every kind of jewelry: a graduation chain from Franklin High School, a wedding set from a Middlebush farmhouse, 22K bangles and sets that families brought from overseas, and plenty of plain broken pieces nobody has worn in years. All of it is worth testing.
Which areas of Franklin Township do we serve?
Every section of the township. The Somerset neighborhoods along Easton Avenue and Hamilton Street are the closest, a few minutes from the city line. Middlebush and East Millstone come in on Amwell Road. Franklin Park and the Franklin side of Kingston use Route 27. Griggstown and Blackwells Mills, out along the canal and Canal Road, have the longest ride, still usually under half an hour.
What do we buy from Franklin Township sellers?
Gold of every karat, silver, platinum, diamonds, coins and watches, broken or whole. Purity is what drives the value: 10K is 41.7 percent gold, 14K is 58.5, 18K is 75, and 22K, common in jewelry made in South Asia and the Middle East, is 91.7. Sterling silver is 92.5. The analyzer reads the metal directly, so a piece with no stamp, or a stamp you cannot read, is not a problem.
Should you sell outright or take a pawn loan?
Decide first whether you need the item back. A pawn loan is borrowing: the pawnbroker keeps your piece as collateral, you repay the principal and interest, and you get the piece back when it is settled. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post does not lend, ever. We only buy, so the cash you take from Bayard Street stays yours. If you need a loan, a licensed pawnbroker is the place for it. If you are selling, here is what to expect a few miles from home.
Your Piece Stays in View
Testing happens on the counter with an XRF analyzer, no acid, no scratching, and you see the karat reading and the scale weight yourself.
Today's Spot, Not a Rate Card
The offer is built on that day's spot price for the metal, so a strong market shows up in the number you are quoted.

What regulars say about the New Brunswick counter
These guys are nice and professional. I came in with gold and they offered me a good piece of change. They didn't try to short change me in any way. I Bought a nice watch on the way out as well for a very good price. 5 stars from me.

Not being short changed is the part that matters most for a first visit from Franklin. You are told what the metal read, what it weighed, and how the number was reached, and you are free to take that to anyone else before you decide.
Estate jewelry buyers near Franklin Township, NJ
The older corners of Franklin, East Millstone, Griggstown, Middlebush, were farm and canal communities long before the subdivisions came, and estates from those houses tend to hold a bit of everything: yellow gold, a silver service, a coin jar, a watch. We sort it all in front of you. Gold goes by karat, so an 18K piece is paid as 18K. Sterling is separated from plate. Signed jewelry and watches are checked for value above their metal, and coins are looked up for collector premium before they are ever treated as melt.

Diamond buyers near Franklin Township, NJ
A diamond ring from Franklin Township is priced as a band and a stone. The band is tested and weighed as gold or platinum, and the diamond is examined under magnification for carat, cut, color and clarity, mounted or loose. A GIA or AGS report strengthens the offer but is not required. Keeping the two apart is what stops a good stone from being paid as scrap.
