From the village to Sunrise
The Village of Farmingdale sits in the Town of Oyster Bay near the Nassau and Suffolk line, with its downtown along Main Street and an LIRR station on the Main Line. Roma Jewelry is about ten minutes south and west.
Bring things exactly as they are. Tarnish does not change the metal content of silver, and polishing a watch can lower its value to a collector.

Bullion, bars and watches
Farmingdale sellers bring .999 silver bars and rounds, gold coins, and watches that may or may not still run.
- A signed photo ID
- Bars and rounds in their capsules
- Watches as they are, unpolished
Bullion and watches at the counter
Bars and rounds are identified by their mint marks and fineness and weighed in plain view. Gold coins are checked and valued on their gold content, with any collector premium considered. Watches are looked at for brand, model, condition and originality.
Each item is priced on its own, so a bag of mixed bullion is not lumped together.
Before you leave Farmingdale
Keep bars and rounds in their capsules or assay cards if they came with them. Do not polish silver or wind a stopped watch hard; bring it as it is. A signed photo ID is needed.
Metal value versus collector value
Most bullion is valued on its metal content. Some coins and watches carry value well above that, depending on date, model and condition. Knowing which is which before you sell is the main reason to have items looked at in person rather than sold by weight alone.
