Are the certificates authentic?

Yes, all of the certificates we sell are authentic stock and bond certificates unless otherwise mentioned in the description. At one point in time, this certificate represented a share of of the company, or a bond receipt. These certificates have been removed from circulation and digitalized, as seen by cancellation holes, stamps and writing on the certificate. We offer these certificates as a collectable item, not a security.  

 

This blue Centura Banks Inc. stock certificate, issued in 1997, showcasing a detailed vignette with a woman in front of a bank vault. Cancellation holes present. 

Centura Banks Inc. was formed on November 4, 1990, through the merger of two regional banks, Peoples Bancorporation and The Planters Corporation, both based in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. The merger, termed as a “merger of equals,” aimed to combine the strengths and traditions of both banks, reflecting over a century of service and stability. Centura Banks quickly expanded its reach, becoming a significant player in the North Carolina banking market with 116 branches and $2.6 billion in assets at its inception/

Centura Banks continued to grow through the 1990s, acquiring several other banks and extending its services across North Carolina. By 2000, it had acquired Triangle Bancorp Inc., making it the sixth largest bank in North Carolina by deposit share. In 2001, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) acquired Centura Banks for $2.3 billion, rebranding it as RBC Centura. This acquisition allowed RBC to establish a strong foothold in the southeastern United States. RBC was acquired buy PNC Bank in 2012.
