Specimen
stock certificates are certificates that were archived by printers and the company as perfect examples of the company's stock issue.
Specimen's
can sometimes be identified by their '
specimen'
stamp, stamped holes spelling '
specimen'
, or they are often issued with a serial number of a series of zeros. Often, they are also issued with no serial number at all.
Specimen
certificates
can also be unissued, numbered and stamped if other specimens were not available to the company. All of these attributes make the
specimen
stock certificate much
rarer
than the large quantity issued version of the share. Many enthusiasts collect specimens as a whole new category of Scripophily. Nice to have a collectable certificate without someone elses name on it, right?
This one won't last long! Would look fantastic framed! Thank you for looking!
