By Jason Delong STAFF WRITER
Got gold? Next week, visitors can cash in on scrap gold, fine jewellery, silver and other precious metals.
Clean out your attics, closets and lock boxes, because t he Tr eas u r e Hun t e r s Roads how i s comi ng t o Hawkesbury . Roadshow specialists are in town ex- amining gold and silver jewellery, old coins and more. While the Roadshow will accept anything that’s old and valuable, they will be focusing on: gold and silver coins made before 1968, U.S. coins made be- fore l970, military items, fine art, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular category this week due to soaring gold prices. Buyers for the Roadshow have noticed a tremen- dous increase in the amount of gold coming to the shows, and for good reason. Record gold prices have Roadshow guests cashing in on broken or outdated jewellery with our fair and honest purchase offers. The Roadshow encourages anyone planning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewellery box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that is gold. If a guest is not sure if something is gold, bring it anyway and the Roadshow staff will test it for free. Other gold items of interest include gold coins,
gold ounces, gold proof sets and dental gold. Other types of items Roadshow specialists hope to see include vintage guitars. Ryan Krushas, one of the Roadshow’s instrument specialists, spoke about some of the top guitars getting great offers. “Old Gibsons and Fenders are in big demand right now,” said Kru- “COINS MADE BEFORE 1968 ARE THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS. U.S. COINS MADE BEFORE 1965 ARE 90% SILVER. COINS CAN BE VALUABLE BECAUSE OF EITHER THE SILVER CONTENT OR EVEN MORE VALUABLE IF ONE HAPPENS TO BE A RARE DATE.”
WE BUY ALL GOLD & SILVER JEWELLERY
as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with collecting coins. I would go through the change in my parents’ grocery store, looking for rare dates and errors. Once, I found a silver quarter that I sold for $300. Not bad for an 8 year old.” Fuller went on to explain that coins made before 1968 are the most sought after by collectors. U.S. coins made before 1965 are 90% silver. Coins can be valuable because of either the silver content or even more valuable if one happens to be a rare date. Fuller explained, “We help people sort through their coins for unique dates. We buy all types of coins at the Roadshow — from wheat pennies to buffalo nick- els, and from single coins to entire truckloads. See you at the Roadshow.”

shas, “vintage amps too. We also buy violins, mando- lins, woodwinds – if it plays it pays!” Timepiece spe- cialist Jeff Ford adds, “Watches are hot! We recently paid over $2,500 for an old Hamilton pocket watch. And we are buying all types of high-end wrist watches too. Brands like Rolex, Tiffany and Chopard are very desirable to collectors. And the finest Swiss timepiece in the world, Patek Philippe, just earned a happy seller $42,000.” When specialist Tom Fuller was asked what he enjoyed most about working at the Roadshow, he was quick to answer, “Old coins and paper currency — for
