Extended Information

This rare specimen stock certificate from the Panera Bread Company was printed in 2003. Panera Bread was taken private in 2017 and is no longer a publicly traded company making their stock certificate even more rare.

Panera Bread was founded in 1987 in as the St. Louis Bread Company. They were purchased in 1997 by Au Bon Pain and they changed the name to Panera.

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.
