Description Extended Information
 
More commonly known as TCI, it was once the largest cable provider in the United States. TCI started as Western Micowave Inc. and Community Television Inc. in 1958. These two companies were merged, moved to Denver Colorado and changed their name to Tele-Comminications Inc. in 1968. TCI went public in 1970 and subsequently purchased by AT&T in 1999. AT&T sold it's cable operations to Charter Communications which was eventually sold to Comcast Corp. 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.
