This TCI specimen stock certificate features Bob Magness as President. More commonly known as TCI, it was once the largest cable provider in the United States and was headquartered in Denver Colorado. Tele-Communications was founded in Bozeman Montana in 1958, TCI went public in 1970 and subsequently purchased by AT&T in 1999. In 1994 the company attempted it merge with Bell Atlantic but the merger was unsuccessful. This specimen was printed in the 1960s.

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 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. Specimens can also represent a design that was never issued. All of these attributes make the specimen stock certificate rarer than the issued version of the share. Many enthusiasts collect specimens as a whole new category of Scripophily.
