Which Cash 4 Gold Trading Post store is closest to Summit?
Middlesex. Of our eight stores it is the closest to Summit in a straight line, about 12 miles to the southwest, and the city has no counter of ours. The store is at 748 Bound Brook Road in Middlesex Borough.
By car it is about 14 miles, and half of them are on Route 22: down from the ridge to Route 22, west through Scotch Plains and past North Plainfield into Green Brook, then a short hop to Bound Brook Road. Allow roughly half an hour without heavy traffic, more at rush hour. Everything happens in that one visit, so there is no second trip to collect a check or a piece left behind for evaluation.
At the counter each item is tested with an XRF analyzer, which identifies gold, silver and platinum and their purity without marking the piece, and weighed on a New Jersey certified scale. You watch the offer being worked out from the live spot price, and then you decide. Walking away costs nothing.
Summit at a glance
Summit is the northernmost city in Union County: about six square miles of hills, roughly 450 feet up on the second Watchung ridge, and long nicknamed the Hill City. The name came with the railroad. In 1837 the line that is now NJ Transit's Morris and Essex service was built over what was called The Summit hill, and the name stuck. After the Civil War the mountain air and the easy trip from New York made Summit a summer resort, and wealthy families built large estates here. Today Midtown Direct trains reach New York Penn Station in about half an hour.

What can Summit sellers bring in?
Gold, silver and platinum jewelry in any condition, sterling flatware and serving pieces, coins and bullion, diamonds, luxury and vintage watches, and entire estates. Broken and outdated pieces are welcome; damage does not reduce the metal value of scrap gold or silver.
Older and finer pieces from Summit homes
A house that has stayed in one family since Summit's estate era can hold older and finer things than a typical jewelry box: platinum settings from the early twentieth century, signed pieces, sterling tea services, a pocket watch. If that is what you are sorting through, do not value it by weight in your head. Some of it is worth more as jewelry, as a collectible or as a working watch than as metal, and we will tell you which is which before you decide.
We test every piece, keep the metals apart, and price the collectible pieces as collectibles. Larger estates get an itemized receipt that an executor or accountant can use. Our estate buyers page and watch buyers page go into more detail, and the guide to selling estate jewelry in New Jersey covers appraisals and paperwork.
