How The Monkey Landed Here

Founded in 2009, Warren Exchange is located right on Main Street in the smallest town in the smallest state! Warren, RI.  Originally opened as a coin and cash for gold shop, we expanded to buy and sell everything, from one marble up to an entire estate.  We have a steady stream of pickers and antique enthusiasts that visit daily, and our inventory is always changing.

That is me!  I have always loved flea markets and buying and selling. So many interesting items have come in and out of this shop, carried by the most fascinating people in the world….if not the UNIVERSE!!! I love this job!

We Buy & Sell Everything but the Monkey!

At Warren Exchange, we stay true to the motto “We buy one marble up to an entire estate” No matter what you bring in, we can give you an appraisal and a cash offer to purchase the item.
It could be your Grandfather’s WWII army knife or your great Aunt Ida’s sewing basket….we have bought and sold everything. Having been in the business since 2009, if we can’t figure it out, we have a built network of experts who we can call to help.

Take a look as some of the items we buy:

We Always Pay Cash!

Coin Collections & Cash for Gold

Any American* silver coin (Dime, Quarter, and Half Dollar**) before 1964 has a precious metal value, and some have a numismatic value. A Numismatic coin is a coin whose value or price depends more on its date, condition, rarity value, connection to history, aesthetic attraction and mint mark of the coin, than its face value.
Bring in ALL of your coins, we will sort and appraise your collection and make a cash offer.

*Foreign coins can also have a precious metal value. Each country is different. Bring in your foreign coins for an appraisal as well.

**half dollars from 1965-1969 contain 40% silver and also have a precious metal value. We are always buying precious metals.

Cash for Gold & Silver

We have been buying and selling Gold and Silver jewelry in the same brick and mortar location since 2009. Most of our customers are word or mouth, referral, and repeat customers.
Bring in your collection. We will separate and sort your jewelry, test in in front of you, and give you a cash offer.

We buy all jewelry!

Including costume jewelry. Rhode Island was the jewelry making capital of the world, starting in 1890 hitting its peak in 1940s when RI was producing 80% of all costume jewelry nation wide! (My grandparents actually met in the factory line at Coro manufacturing costume jewelry) April’s mother met her Mother In Law picking for Monet.
Bring in your costume jewelry. Although rare, some costume jewelry is worth more than silver or gold.

I love sharing that excitement with customers and helping them discover what they have. Sharon B.Sharon B. ★★★★★ I found some random silver flatware in my basement. I called around to a few stores and Warren Exchange was the only place I could find who would even look at it. She took her time and pulled out all of the sterling, most of it was plated, but the few pieces that were real sterling added up fast. I got way more money than I expected.Response from the ownerI'm glad you decided to bring the flatware in. One of the biggest surprises for many people is that a few pieces of sterling can add up quickly, even when most of the set turns out to be silverplate.I actually enjoy the detective work of sorting through boxes of flatware, jewelry, and other odds and ends to find the hidden treasures. It's one of my favorite parts of the job! You never know when a piece that looks ordinary is going to turn out to be something special.Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take a look, and we're thrilled that you left with more than you expected. We hope to see you again the next time you uncover a mystery box in the basement!— Tara Stephen B.Stephen B. ★★★★★ Tara is a highly skilled industry professional.
