Precious Metals/Gems Dealers & Pawnbroker Licensing

Pawnbroker means any person who loans money on deposit or pledge or personal property, or other valuable thing, or who deals in the purchasing of personal property or other valuable thing on condition of selling the property back again at a stipulated price, or who loans money secured by chattel mortgage on personal property and by taking possession of the property or any part thereof so mortgaged.

Dealer in precious metals or precious gems means any person who engages in a business of purchasing or receiving, for resale, any precious metals or any precious gems which were previously sold at retail, or coins.
