Description

This rare specimen Chase Manhattan Bank was from 1983 and due in 1995.

Chase was formed in 1877 and named after former Treasury Secretary, Salmon Portland Chase (1808 - 1873). David Rockefeller served as an officer of the Chase Manhattan Bank from 1946 to 1981. He was President from 1961 until 1969 when he became Chairman and Chief Executive Officer until his retirement in 1981. Since that date he has been Chairman of the bank’s International Advisory Committee. Mr. Rockefeller has also been involved in numerous other business, cultural and educational organizations. Chase Manhattan Corporation merged with J.P. Morgan & Co. in 2000 and is now JP Morgan Chase & Co., one of the largest financial institutions in the world.

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.
