Extended Information

SUNOCO began as The Peoples Natural Gas Company in 1886 and was changed to Sun Company by 1890. The company changed it's name a couple of times, it was Sun Co. until 1920, then it became Sun Oil Company until 1976 and is now known as SUNOCO. The company supplies fuel to roughly 7,300 Sunoco branded gas stations and might be most famous for it's sponsorship of NASCAR where the cars use "SUNOCO Race Fuel". This SUNOCO Specimen Stock Certificate was printed in 2005.

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.
