17-23-204. Melt-down bullion.
When a proposed transaction involves the buying of precious metal bulk bullion which appears to have been the result of a melt-down of a former article containing a precious metal, the buyer must first inquire as to what was the source of the item before the melt-down and must notify the Department of Arkansas State Police or the office of the county sheriff or municipal police department and obtain permission from that law enforcement agency before consummating any agreement.
