What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Virginia regulates anyone who buys precious metals or gems from the public — pawn-adjacent dealers, jewelers buying scrap gold, coin and bullion buyers. Before a dealer can operate in Prince George County, Virginia law requires a local permit and a $10,000 recognizance secured by a corporate surety.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Commonwealth/Prince George County (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. The bond stands behind your compliance with the dealer law — accurate recordkeeping, the holding period on purchased items, and honest dealing. If you violate it and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who keep proper records and follow the holding rules treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
