Which Cash 4 Gold Trading Post store is closest to Hillsborough?
Middlesex. Of our eight stores it is the closest to Hillsborough Township in a straight line, about 11 miles from the middle of the township, and it sits at 748 Bound Brook Road, a few minutes off Route 22. There is no counter of ours in Hillsborough itself, so this is the store we point township sellers to.
Eleven miles on the map comes to about 13 on the road, and the drive takes around half an hour each way without heavy traffic, longer when Route 206 or Route 22 is backed up. We would rather you know that before you set out. It is also a single trip: your pieces are tested and priced while you wait, and you leave with cash or with everything you brought.
At the counter, an XRF analyzer reads what each piece is made of without scratching or cutting it, and a New Jersey certified scale weighs it. The offer is worked out from that day's live spot price in front of you, so you see the purity reading, the weight and the arithmetic before you say yes or no.
Hillsborough Township at a glance
Hillsborough covers about 55 square miles of Somerset County, from the Duke Farms land along the Raritan River in the northeast to the Sourland Mountain ridge it shares with Montgomery in the south. It received its charter in 1771, and two of its neighbors began as pieces of it: Millstone borough was formed from township land in 1894 and Manville in 1929. A lot of it is still open ground. About a third of the township is preserved as open space or farmland, and the 2,700-acre Duke Farms estate, once Doris Duke's home, has been open to the public since 2012.

The township has grown fast. The Census counted 11,061 residents in 1970 and 43,276 in 2020, close to four times as many, and U.S. Route 206 through the middle of town got a bypass, finished in 2021, to take traffic off its old congested stretch.
What can Hillsborough sellers bring in?
Anything made of gold, silver or platinum, in any condition, plus coins, diamonds, watches and whole estates. Broken chains, single earrings and bent rings are fine: for scrap gold and silver, damage does not change what the metal is worth.
Selling from a Hillsborough household
If your family has lived in the township since its growth years, the jewelry you are sorting may well date from the 1970s through the 1990s: rope chains, class rings, a first engagement ring, a watch that stopped running. Do not sort it, clean it or guess at it. Bring the whole box. We separate it by metal and karat and test each group on its own, so nothing gets priced at a lower karat because it was weighed alongside something else.
Settling an estate in Belle Mead, Flagtown or anywhere else in the township usually means more than jewelry. Sterling flatware, silver dollars, rolls of older coins, a gold pocket watch and dental gold all come to the same counter. When a coin or a signed piece is worth more as a collectible than as metal, we say so and price it that way, and larger estate purchases come with an itemized receipt for the executor.
Our estate buyers page explains how full collections are handled, and the guide to selling estate jewelry in New Jersey covers appraisals and the paperwork executors need.

Hillsborough Cash for Gold: Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a Cash 4 Gold Trading Post in Hillsborough, NJ?
No. The closest store is in Middlesex at 748 Bound Brook Road, about 11 miles from the center of Hillsborough Township in a straight line and about 13 miles by road. The usual route is Route 206 north through Manville, then Route 22 east to Greenbrook Road and Bound Brook Road.
How long is the drive from Hillsborough to the Middlesex store?
About 13 miles, which takes around half an hour without heavy traffic. Give yourself extra time at rush hour on Route 206 and Route 22.
When can Hillsborough sellers visit the Middlesex store?
Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM. The store is closed on Sunday. No appointment is needed.
Do you buy coins and sterling from Hillsborough estates?
Yes. We buy U.S. silver coins dated before 1965, silver dollars, gold coins, proof sets and whole collections, along with sterling flatware and serving pieces. A coin that is worth more to collectors than its metal is priced as a collectible.
Is a gold buyer the same as a pawn shop for Hillsborough sellers?
No. A pawn shop's main business is lending: it holds your item as collateral until the loan is repaid with interest. We do not lend. We buy outright, so you leave with cash and there is nothing to pay back. If you need a loan rather than a sale, a licensed pawnbroker is the right place.
What should I bring from Hillsborough to sell gold?
The pieces you want to sell and a valid government-issued photo ID, which New Jersey requires for every precious-metals purchase. Leave everything as it is, since polishing can hurt the value of older pieces. Bring appraisals or estate paperwork if you have them.
