About Dorchester
Dorchester is Boston's largest neighborhood — Fields Corner, Ashmont, Savin Hill, Upham's Corner, and Codman Square along Dorchester Avenue, with the Red Line and the Fairmount Line running through it. Dot has deep roots: Vietnamese businesses on Dot Ave, old Irish and Caribbean families, triple-deckers that have been in the same hands for decades. When Dorchester households need cash fast or have gold and jewelry to sell, they want a shop that treats them straight and pays on the spot — that's a short ride up to Commonwealth Ave.
Pawn Shop at LBC Pawn — how we work
Here is how it works. Bring your item and a valid photo ID. We test and weigh gold and silver in front of you, check coins against current market prices, and explain exactly how we got to our number. If you sell, you leave with cash the same visit. If you would rather borrow, your item is stored securely as collateral and you get it back when the loan is repaid — loans run up to four months and can be renewed by paying the interest due.
What do we take? Gold jewelry in any condition, sterling silver, U.S. and world coins and vintage currency, Rolex and other luxury watches, diamond jewelry, designer handbags, electronics, and a long list of antiques and collectibles — from Tiffany lamps to graded sports cards. If you are not sure an item qualifies, text us a photo first and we will tell you straight whether it is worth the trip from Dorchester.

Questions we hear
- Do I need good credit to get a pawn loan?
- No. A pawn loan is based on the value of your item, not your credit history. There is no credit check and nothing is reported to any credit bureau — if the loan is not repaid, we simply keep and sell the item, as Massachusetts law allows.
- How much can I borrow?
- It depends on the item's resale value. Gold, coins, fine watches, and diamond jewelry support the largest loans. Text us a photo at 857-867-6468 for a ballpark before you come in.
- What do I need to bring?
- Your item and a valid government-issued photo ID. Borrowers and sellers must be 18 or older.
- Can I renew my loan?
- Yes. Loans run up to four months and may be renewed by paying the interest due, so you never have to lose an item over one tight month.
- Can I pay to renew or pick up my pawn with a card?
- You can extend (renew) your loan with a credit or debit card only through the MobilePawn app — you cannot extend in the store with a card. Pickup day is cash only: redeeming and picking up your item must be paid in cash. Need cash for your pickup? Our in-store ATM charges just $2 per transaction.
- 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.
