Viewing and handling of paper stock and bond certificates make it much easier to understand the process of buying and selling a financial security

Fairfax, Virginia (PRWEB) August 08, 2016

Scripophily.com®, the Internet’s largest buyer and seller of collectible stock and bond certificates is now offering quantities of quality low cost authentic paper stock and bond certificates to assist educators in teaching students about stocks and bonds.

"Due to the digital age, it is much harder to explain the processes of issuing and redeeming stock and bond certificates, because everything is performed by computer code." said Bob Kerstein CPA, Founder of Scripophily.com. "The physical certificate makes it much easier to explain the process from issuing the certificate to cancellation." Kerstein, added.

A stock certificate will indicate the number of shares of stock and provide a unique serial number to that certificate. The name of the registrar will also appear along with the class of shares (such as common stock or preferred stock), a unique image, the company name, and the shareholder’s name. The certificate also includes the state of incorporation, transfer agent, par value, date issued, and signatures of authorized corporate executives. Also included on the certificate is the corporate seal, printer’s name, ornate border, cancellation markings and date cancelled. To assist teachers, Scripophily.com is offering a free Reference Guide to Stock Certificates prepared by Bob Kerstein CPA, Founder of Scripophily.com.

A sample of the company certificates we are selling in our program include Erie Railroad Company, General Motors Corporation, Halliburton Company, Buckeye Steel Castings, Camaguey Sugar Company of Cuba, Irving Trust Company, New York Central Railroad Company, Penn Central Railway Company, Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Union Pacific Corporation, United States Radium Company and Pan American World Airways.

Scripophily (scrip-ah-fil-ly) is the name of the hobby of collecting vintage stock and bond certificates. Certificate values range from a few dollars to more than $500,000 for the most unique and rare items. Tens of thousands of Scripophily buyers worldwide include casual collectors, business executives, museums and the avid collector. Due to the computer age, more and more stock and bonds are issued electronically which means fewer paper certificates are being issued. As a result, demand for paper certificates is increasing while supply is decreasing.

Certificates are collected and given as gifts because of their historical significance, beauty and artwork, autographs, notoriety, as well as many other factors. Old Greek, Chinese, Confederate and Panama Canal bond certificates have always been popular items. In addition, scandals like Lehman Bros. and Enron, and stock certificates signed by John D. Rockefeller and other famous businessmen continue to be our top sellers.
