We all have bags of coins or jars of coins that we have been saving for years. It's time to turn those years of saving into cash.

Did you know that most people don't realise that their coins may be worth more than face value. Okay so no, it's not every coin but what if I told you that some of those coins may be worth double their face value? Can you imagine how great that would be?

Many people grab that old bag of coins during hard times and bring it to the Bank or the local supermarket to receive the "Cash" equivilant. BIG MISTAKE! If they had simply brought that same bag or jar to us, well we may have been able to more than double their money...wow, wouldnt that be a nice discovery!

If you have a jar of coins or old bag of coins that you would like to turn in for the cash, do yourself a big favor, bring it down to us at Bergen County Coin & Collectibles so that we can go through them and send you home with a smile!

It's very sad, but jewelry stores both BIG and SMALL are selling moissonite as diamonds, BUYER TRAP:

FYI: next time you purchase diamond jewlery make sure you ask to see it tested. Test every single diamond. As a matter of fact buy a diamond tester for 180.00 and save yourself from a future of purchasing : moissonite, CZ's, white topaz.

Believe it or not, we have literally had at least 50 customers who brought in their diamonds to sell, only for us to alert them that they have moissonite, not diamonds!

That diamond tennis bracelet you just purchased, hmmm, what if you tested it onlyto find ONE diamond and 56 moissonites?! That is what has happened to several of our customers when they purchased at various jewelers including those BIG NAME STORES!

You can buy a diamond tester at any diamond supply dealer on the WWW or if you live locally come on in and we will test your jewelry for you.

When purchasing a diamond, simply ask the jeweler to bring out his.her diamond tester so that you can see EACH stone register as a diamond...if they refuse, LEAVE! Wouldnt they want you to know that they are selling you actual diamonds as they claim?

It is a shame when you purchase diamonds retail and decide to sell them you are already losing some cash since dealers purchase at wholesale prices: imagine how much more you could lose because you didnt make certain that the diamonds were real.

We value our customers, when we sell jewelry to our clients we allow our buyers to test the diamonds so that they know the diamonds are genuine...why purchase something so valueable from anyone who wouldnt offer you the same?

Buyer beware....that diamond tennis bracelet may only contain ONE diamond and 56 moissonites!
