Where to Sell Coins for Cash in New Jersey
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post is a licensed and insured New Jersey precious metals dealer that buys gold coins, silver coins, rare coins, and complete coin collections at 6 locations in East Brunswick, New Brunswick, Middlesex, Millstone, Brick, and Manalapan. Our buying team includes experienced numismatists who recognize key dates, mint marks, die varieties, and grading distinctions that affect a coin's value. A 1916-D Mercury Dime, for example, is worth $1,000 to $10,000 depending on grade, while a common-date Mercury Dime contains roughly $2 worth of silver.
We evaluate every coin for both precious metal melt value and numismatic collector value, then pay you whichever is higher. Over 10,000 customers have sold coins, jewelry, and valuables at our 6 New Jersey locations.
Inherited coin collections are the largest category of coins we buy. Many families in Central New Jersey discover boxes of coins left by parents or grandparents who collected silver dollars, Indian Head pennies, and proof sets throughout the 20th century. We evaluate every collection item by item rather than offering a single bulk price.
A typical inherited collection containing 50 Morgan Silver Dollars, 100 pre-1965 Washington Quarters, and a handful of gold coins can be worth $3,000 to $10,000 or more depending on dates, mint marks, and condition. The appraisal is always free, and you get a detailed receipt listing every coin purchased and the price paid.
How Much Are Silver and Gold Coins Worth in 2026?
Silver and gold coin values are tied directly to precious metal spot prices, which change daily. As of early 2026, silver trades near $32 per troy ounce and gold trades above $2,900 per troy ounce. A single American Silver Eagle contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and is worth approximately $34 to $38, which includes a small premium above spot price.
Pre-1965 United States dimes, quarters, and half dollars contain 90% silver by weight. A $1 face value bag of pre-1965 quarters (4 coins) holds approximately 0.72 troy ounces of silver and is worth roughly $23 to $25 in melt value alone. Rare dates within these common silver coins can multiply that value by 10 times or more.
American Gold Eagles are the most commonly sold gold coins we buy. A 1-ounce American Gold Eagle trades for $2,950 to $3,100 depending on spot price and condition. Fractional Gold Eagles in 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce sizes are also popular.
Pre-1933 US gold coins like the $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle and the $10 Indian Head Eagle carry both gold content value and numismatic premiums. A common-date $20 Double Eagle in circulated condition is worth $2,800 to $3,200. We also buy Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands, British Sovereigns, and Mexican Pesos at all 6 New Jersey locations.
What Makes a Coin Worth More Than Face Value?
What Are the Two Types of Coin Value?
Every coin Cash 4 Gold Trading Post evaluates is assessed for two distinct types of value, and we pay whichever is higher:
- Melt value: The worth of the precious metal content inside the coin. A pre-1965 Washington quarter contains 0.1808 troy ounces of 90% silver, worth approximately $5 to $6 at current spot prices. A 1 oz American Gold Eagle contains $2,900+ in gold.
- Numismatic value: Collectible value driven by rarity, condition, mint mark, and historical significance. A 1916-D Mercury Dime in good condition is worth $1,000 to $10,000, far exceeding its $2 silver melt value.
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post evaluates both and pays you whichever is higher. Our buying team includes experienced numismatists who recognize key dates and varieties.

Should You Clean Coins Before Selling Them?
No. Never clean coins before bringing them in for evaluation. Cleaning removes the original surface patina and can permanently reduce the numismatic value of collectible coins by 50% or more. A naturally toned Morgan Dollar in original condition is worth significantly more than one that has been polished or dipped. Bring your coins exactly as they are. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post prefers original, uncleaned surfaces.
