How do you get from Hamilton to the Millstone store?
Whichever village you start from, Mercerville, Yardville or Hamilton Square, the route is the same: get onto I-195 and drive east past Robbinsville and the Turnpike interchange into Millstone Township, then come off and pick up Monmouth Road, County Route 537. The store is at 494 Monmouth Rd, Suite 5, with parking outside. Allow about twenty-three minutes; it is mostly highway, so the clock is reliable.
It is a real drive rather than an errand, so it is worth one call to (732) 444-2022 before you load the car if you are unsure whether something qualifies. Millstone also keeps Saturday hours, which suits anyone commuting out of Hamilton station all week.
A township made of villages, and what that means for a jewelry box
Hamilton was formed on April 11, 1842 out of the older Nottingham Township, and took its name from Hamilton Square, which in turn was named for Alexander Hamilton. It never grew into a single downtown. Instead it is a collection of settled villages with their own names and their own memories: Hamilton Square, Mercerville, Yardville, Groveville, White Horse, Broad Street Park, Deutzville, Rusling, and Duck Island out on the Delaware. Today it is Mercer County's most populous municipality, roughly 92,300 residents spread across 39.4 square miles.
The years that shaped what is in the drawers were 1940 to 1960, when the population more than doubled and street after street of Capes and split-levels went up for families working in and around Trenton. Those houses are now turning over. What comes off them is consistent: complete sterling flatware services bought for a wedding, service medals and insignia, anniversary bands and signet rings, Waltham and Elgin pocket watches, folders of Mercury dimes and Buffalo nickels, and class rings from Hamilton High West, Steinert and Nottingham. The township's landmarks outlast the households, from Sayen House and Gardens and its azaleas in Hamilton Square to the Kuser family's old summer estate on Newkirk Avenue and the sculpture park off Sculptors Way, but the jewelry moves on.
How a whole-house lot is taken apart
Nothing is poured onto one scale. Gold is banded by karat, so a solid 14k service piece is never averaged in with a 10k ring, and a higher-purity import is not paid at a lower band. Sterling flatware is weighed apart from silver plate, and a monogram or a pattern mark is noted before melt value is discussed, since a complete service in a known pattern can be worth more whole. Coins are read for date, mint mark and condition first. Medals, insignia and signed pieces are checked for collector interest. Diamonds are graded independently of their mountings. Then the lines are added up in front of you.
If the house is still full and travel is the problem, the estate buyers service arranges house calls and works with executor paperwork, and the New Jersey estate jewelry guide sets out what to hold back for the family first.
The part about the collectibles
“Joey was so incredibly kind. Not only did he take his time giving me a more than a fair price for gold I sold but he also went above and beyond to educate me on the different collectibles. I cannot recommend this place and this kind man enough! Leaving as a very happy and thankful and loyal customer”
— Melissa Clemens, five-star Google review of Cash 4 Gold Trading Post in Millstone. That explanation is the point of the trip: you should leave knowing what you had, not just what you were paid.
Which parts of Hamilton do we hear from?
All nine or so of them, from Hamilton Square and Mercerville out to Yardville, Groveville and White Horse, along Nottingham Way and Klockner Road, down Kuser Road past Veterans Park, and over toward the Trenton line. Neighbors in Robbinsville, East Windsor and Bordentown Township use the same stretch of I-195.
Two numbers for every ring
The diamond is studied under magnification for carat, cut, color and clarity, with a GIA or AGS report strengthening the case but not required, and the mounting is read and weighed as gold or platinum against that day's spot. Quoting them as one number is how a good stone gets buried in a metal price. Loose stones, studs, anniversary bands and tennis bracelets are treated the same way.

Where is the closest Cash 4 Gold Trading Post to Hamilton Township, NJ?
Our Millstone store at 494 Monmouth Rd, Suite 5, Millstone, NJ 08510, about twenty-three minutes east on I-195 and then Monmouth Road, County Route 537. We have no store in Mercer County. Phone (732) 444-2022.
Do you buy a complete sterling flatware service?
Yes. Sterling is weighed separately from silver plate, and the pattern and any maker's mark are identified before melt value is discussed, because a complete service in a recognised pattern can be worth more kept whole.
Are class rings from Steinert, Nottingham or Hamilton West worth bringing?
Yes, if they are gold. A class ring is bought on karat and weight regardless of school or year, and the stone is looked at on its own in case it adds value above the metal.
Is the Millstone store open on Saturday?
Yes. Millstone keeps Saturday hours as well as weekday hours and is closed Sunday. The current hours are posted on this page and no appointment is required.
Can you come to a house in Hamilton for a large estate?
For larger estates we arrange house calls and work with executor paperwork through the estate buyers service. Call ahead to set one up rather than moving an entire household by car.
What identification is required to sell gold in New Jersey?
A valid government photo ID such as a driver's license or passport. State law obliges every precious-metals buyer to record one for each purchase.
