A traveling antique-buying roadshow will take place in Nashua this week and spend as much as $300,000 collectively buying area residents’ antiques, coins, and jewelry.
“Collectors are very serious about their hobby and will pay a lot of money for the items they are looking for. Nearly all coins and paper currency, vintage jewelry, war memorabilia, musical instruments and toys made prior to 1965 are highly sought after by collectors,” company spokesperson Matthew Enright said.

The company has found a number of rare items in the past, including a gold coin collection it bought for $107,000, a Civil War pistol purchased for $40,000 and a letter written by George Washington to his wife’s doctor, according to company spokesperson Brittany Thomas.
The show is free and potential sellers can bring as many items as they like, Enright said.
“What we’ve really seen a ton of is gold and silver. With both hitting all-time highs and the current economy, people everywhere are cashing in broken chains, necklaces and rings and taking advantage of the market,” Enright said.
