Extended Information

This NYSE Group, Inc. Specimen Commemorative Common Stock Certificate was given to employees of the NYSE on March 8, 2006. It was given to commemorate the listing of the NYSE Group, Inc. as NYX on the exchange and the merger with Archipelago. Great commemorative piece of history from the New York Stock Exchange. This version is even more rare as it is a specimen version of the certificate. It is hole punched by the American Banknote Company 2/15/06.

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.
