Here is a quick summary of our most popular selling and pawn loan categories:

Gold

GOLD is usually stamped 10K, 14K, 18K. Gold is bought by the pennyweight (dwt). There are 18.2 dwt to the avoir oz. or 20 to the troy oz. Dental gold must be yellow and is usually around 16k. Items stamped 1/20 12k – H.G.E. are gold plated and worth very little.  We test all gold, marked and unmarked.  If there are diamonds or other precious stones in the item brought in, we will add their value to the weight of the gold.  Learn more.

Silver

Items must be stamped “Sterling” .925 – .900 – .800. Many items stamped Sterling are weighted with plaster (i.e. candlesticks) and must be broken to get the true weight. Knives which have sterling handles are figured at 1/3 – 1/2 oz. each.

Coins and Currency

All Island Jewelry & Loan deals in all types of U.S. and Foreign Coins. U.S. 90% silver coins are dimes, quarters, or halves dated 1964 or older. U.S. 40% clad coins are halves only dated 1965-1969. War Nickels are dated 1942 – 1945 with large mint marks only. Silver dollars were minted up to 1935. We buy all early U.S. & foreign coins and paper monies, but coins that are damaged in any way are almost unsaleable, but may have scrap value. The better condition the higher the price. We pay top dollar on all gold and silver coins.

Watches

Many common gold watches made in the last 20 to 30 years are probably worth their weight in gold only, but All Island Jewelry & Loan will examine the watch to determine if it has any value above melt. Hunting case watches (flip Covers) that are working or repairable are valuable. Repeater watches which chime the time are very valuable – often worth over $1,000. Old silver watches are also worth a premium. Particularly valuable watches are Rolex; Cartier; Tiffany; Omega; Patek; Phillipe; Piaget.
