Gold is money you can hold in your hand — and across Massachusetts, a lot of it is sitting in drawers: broken chains, single earrings, inherited rings, dental gold, and coins. LBC Pawn Cash 4 Gold 3% Loans* buys gold in every karat and condition at our Boston shop on Commonwealth Avenue, weighs and tests it in front of you, and prices it off the live market the day you walk in.
We buy 10k through 24k jewelry, scrap and broken gold, gold coins and bullion, and estate pieces. Fine jewelry — Tiffany, Bvlgari, Cartier, Oscar Heyman — is evaluated above melt when the workmanship and stones deserve it, because we look at the piece and not just the scale. Sterling silver and platinum are bought the same way.
Coming from outside Boston? Text photos and weights if you have them to 857-867-6468 and we will give you a range before you make the trip. And if you would rather keep your gold, ask about borrowing against it at 3% per month* instead — many Massachusetts customers take the loan and redeem their pieces later.
What a loan costs — in plain numbers
| If you borrow | After month 1 | After month 2 | After month 3 | After month 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $111 | $114 | $117 | $120 |
That first month includes the one-time 8% charge; after that it is a flat 3% per month. No hidden fees, no surprises — the full cost is printed on your ticket.
*Pawn loans: 3% per month interest plus a one-time 8% charge in the first month only. Example: a $100 loan costs $111 after month 1, $114 after month 2, $117 after month 3 and $120 after month 4. Loans run up to 4 months and may be renewed by paying the interest due. Borrowers must be 18 or older with valid photo ID. Items not redeemed by the end of the loan term may be sold as allowed by Massachusetts law.

Questions we hear
- How is my gold priced?
- We test the karat, weigh the piece in front of you, and price it off the current gold market. Designer and diamond pieces are also considered for value above melt — we will walk you through the math either way.
- Do you buy broken or scrap gold?
- Yes. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, and dental gold are all bought by weight. Condition does not change the value of the metal itself.
- Do I have to sell, or can I borrow against my gold?
- Both. Selling pays you the full purchase price today; a pawn loan at 3% per month* lets you borrow against the gold and get it back. We will quote both so you can decide.
- What ID do I need to sell gold?
- A valid government-issued photo ID, and you must be 18 or older — that is Massachusetts law for buying precious metals, and it protects everyone.
- Do you buy Bitcoin or other crypto?
- Yes — we buy Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies listed on Coinbase at 90% of market value, with the rate confirmed at the time of your transaction, and cash in hand if you want it. There's also a Bitcoin ATM right here in the shop for buying and selling Bitcoin.
