How do you get from Linden to the Middlesex store?
Head north out of Linden through Roselle and pick up Route 28 in Roselle Park or Cranford. From there it is one road west: through Westfield, Plainfield and Dunellen, and into Middlesex, where Route 28 is Bound Brook Road. The store is at 748 Bound Brook Rd with parking in front. Allow about 35 to 40 minutes, depending on the lights; a GPS may route you by the Parkway and I-287 when traffic is heavy.
It is a drive from Wood Avenue, so if you have a question about a piece, call (732) 629-7600 before you leave. Middlesex also opens on Saturday, which helps if you work shifts or commute on the Northeast Corridor all week.
Refinery, chemical plants and an assembly line: the city behind the jewelry box
Linden was formed in 1861 from parts of Elizabeth and Rahway, and for most of the century that followed it made things. The Bayway Refinery still runs on the Elizabeth line, the chemical plants and tank farms line Tremley Point along the Arthur Kill, and from 1937 to 2005 General Motors built cars at its Linden Assembly plant on Route 1. Linden Airport still sits beside Routes 1 and 9. Generations of Linden families were paid by those plants, and the steady paychecks bought the steady things: wedding sets, anniversary bands, a good watch at retirement, gold chains for a confirmation.
That is often what a Linden jewelry box holds today. Solid 14k and 10k gold, some of it broken or out of style, a few sterling pieces mixed in with plate, and often a jar of old coins. None of it needs to be pretty. Gold is paid on purity and weight, so a snapped chain and a single earring are worth exactly what their gold is worth.
What happens to a mixed bag of gold, silver and coins
Everything is read by the XRF analyzer, which confirms the karat without scratching or acid, then weighed on a certified scale while you watch. The lot is split by karat so a 14k band never gets priced at 10k, sterling is separated from plated flatware, and coins are looked at for date and condition before melt comes up, because some dates are worth more to collectors. Diamonds are graded on their own, apart from the metal they sit in. You get one total, with each part listed.

Selling a diamond ring without losing the stone's value
A diamond ring is valued in two pieces. The stone is checked under magnification for carat, cut, color and clarity, with or without a GIA or AGS report, and the band is tested and weighed as metal. Keeping them apart stops a real diamond from disappearing into a scrap-gold price. Loose stones, studs and tennis bracelets are handled the same way. More on the diamond buyers page and in where to sell an engagement ring.

All of it, from downtown Wood Avenue and the train station to St. Georges Avenue, Wheeler Park, the streets near Hawk Rise Sanctuary on the Rahway River, and Tremley down by the Arthur Kill. Neighbors in Roselle, Rahway, Clark and Elizabeth use the same Route 28 trip.
What can a Linden seller bring?

Where is the closest Cash 4 Gold Trading Post to Linden, NJ?
Our Middlesex store at 748 Bound Brook Rd, Middlesex, NJ 08846, reached from Linden by Route 28 west in about 35 to 40 minutes. We have no store in Union County. Phone (732) 629-7600.
Do you buy broken chains and single earrings from Linden sellers?
Yes. Gold is bought on purity and weight, so broken, bent and mismatched pieces pay the same as whole ones of the same karat and weight.
Can you tell if old coins from a jar are worth more than their silver?
Yes. Coins are checked for date, mint mark and condition before any melt value is discussed, so a scarce coin is not sold for its metal by mistake.
Is the Middlesex store open on Saturday?
Yes. Middlesex has Saturday hours as well as weekday hours and is closed Sunday. Current hours are on this page, and no appointment is needed.
How is the price for Linden gold decided?
By the purity reading, the weight on a certified scale, and the live spot price that day, all of which you can see. Coins and diamonds are valued on top of that, separately.
What do I need to sell gold in New Jersey?
A valid government photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. State law requires it for every precious-metals sale at any buyer.
