Where do Piscataway residents sell gold for cash?
Most of them drive north. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post is at 748 Bound Brook Rd in Middlesex, on Route 28 between Bound Brook and Dunellen, and from the Stelton Road, Hoes Lane, or Centennial Avenue side of the township it is roughly a 10 minute trip up toward the borough line and west along Route 28. It is the nearest counter to Piscataway that does nothing but buy precious metals, diamonds, and coins.
For a township of about 60,000 people with no single downtown, that matters: whether you live near River Road and Johnson Park, off Washington Avenue, or near New Market Pond, the drive to our Middlesex store is about the same.
What Piscataway households bring to the counter
Piscataway was settled in 1666, which makes it one of the oldest townships in New Jersey, but most of what comes in from here is newer than that. Rutgers puts its Busch and Livingston campuses inside the township, with SHI Stadium on Busch and Jersey Mike's Arena on Livingston, so a steady share of our Piscataway visits involve the university: a Rutgers class ring from a graduate who no longer wears it, a faculty family clearing a parent's jewelry box, or a student heading home at the end of the year with a chain that snapped.
The township is also home to a large South Asian community, and that brings 22k and 24k gold to the counter: bangles, wedding sets, mangalsutras, and coins bought for festivals. High-karat gold is exactly the metal that gets short-changed when a buyer quotes one blended rate, so it is read on the XRF and priced as its own pile, never averaged in with 10k or 14k.
How a Piscataway jewelry box gets counted
Nothing goes on the scale together until it has been sorted. Diamonds are lifted out and graded under magnification first. Gold is split by karat, so a 22k bangle, an 18k ring, and a 10k class ring each get their own reading and their own line on the offer. Sterling flatware is separated from silver plate, and coins are looked at by date and condition before anyone counts their metal.
Handling a larger estate in the township? The estate buyers service covers house calls and paperwork for executors, and the New Jersey estate jewelry guide explains what to set aside before you call anyone.
What a customer at the Middlesex counter wrote
“Walked into the Middlesex, NJ location to sell various gold & silver jewelry. Ed was very helpful and explained everything as he tested my jewelry to check if it was 10k or 14k or just costume jewelry. I felt very comfortable and was very pleased with the amount of cash I received. I plan on coming back with more jewelry.”

Engagement rings and loose stones, graded apart from the gold
An engagement ring gets two numbers: one for the diamond, graded on carat, cut, color, and clarity with or without a GIA or IGI report, and one for the band, priced on its metal that day. Keeping them apart is how a good stone avoids being paid as scrap setting. Studs, tennis bracelets, and loose stones go through the same split. More on the diamond buyers page and in where to sell an engagement ring.
Which parts of Piscataway do we hear from?
Every part of the township. Sellers come from the Busch and Livingston campus neighborhoods, from Stelton and New Market, from the streets along River Road near Johnson Park, and from the Washington Avenue and Stelton Road corridors that run north toward Dunellen and Middlesex.
What else can a Piscataway seller bring?
Gold of any karat, sterling, platinum, diamonds, coins, and watches. Tap a category to see how it is tested before you drive up to Route 28.

How far is Piscataway from the nearest gold buyer?
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post is at 748 Bound Brook Rd in Middlesex, on Route 28 just past the Piscataway line, roughly 10 minutes from most of the township. We buy gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, and coins outright and do not lend. Call (732) 629-7600 before you come if you have a question.
Do you buy 22k and 24k gold jewelry from Piscataway families?
Yes. Bangles, wedding sets, mangalsutras, and festival coins are read on the XRF and priced as high-karat gold, kept separate from any 10k, 14k, or 18k pieces so they are never averaged down to a lower rate.
Can I sell a Rutgers class ring?
Yes. A class ring is bought for its gold, whatever the year or the stone in it. Most are 10k or 14k, and the reading on the counter tells you which before you hear an offer. Synthetic class-ring stones add nothing, so they stay in place.
Is an engagement ring priced as scrap gold?
No. The diamond is graded on its own under magnification and the band is priced on its metal, so you get two figures that add up to one offer.
What decides the offer on gold from Piscataway?
The purity reading from the XRF analyzer, the weight on a certified scale, and the live spot price that day. Where you live and how the piece looks do not change it.
Is selling different from a pawn loan?
Yes. A pawn loan borrows against a piece and it stays with the lender until you repay with interest. A sale is final and nothing is owed. We only buy, so if you want the item back later, a licensed pawnbroker is the right place.
What ID does New Jersey require to sell gold?
A valid government photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport, for every precious-metals sale. No receipts or boxes are needed, though a diamond report is worth bringing if you have one.
