Description Extended Information
 
Circle K was founded in 1951 in El Paso Texas by future El Paso Mayor Fred Harvey. The company ran into stiff competition from oil company owned convenience stores and filed for bankruptcy in 1990. Circle K Corporation continues to be one of the largest convenience store chains in the U.S. and is owned by Alimentaion Couche-Tard out of Canada. 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.
