Happy New Year! Welcome to the January Issue of Empire Jewelers’ Report. In this issue, we bring you information on how coins are valued, a subject often confusing for those who aren’t avid collectors. We also explain how getting a loan from a pawn shop actually works—it’s probably much easier than you think, and can be a great alternative to selling a piece of jewelry that you don’t want to part with.

We hope you find this issue helpful and informative, and we welcome your feedback.

Sincerely,
Mitch Kushner, Empire Pawn of Nassau
