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 is an original stock certificate from Giant Resources, Inc., dated January 11, 1962, printed in black. 

This certificate shows normal signs of age and handling but remains in very good condition. It includes detailed transfer instructions on the reverse side and issued representing 1,000 shares of common stock.

In 1962, Nevada was experiencing a surge in mining incorporation as prospectors and investors rushed to capitalize on new geological surveys and federal land policies that opened previously restricted areas to private development. Giant Resources, Inc. was among the wave of Nevada-incorporated companies formed during this period to pursue mineral exploration in the expanding American West. Nevada's minimal corporate oversight and favorable mining statutes made it the preferred state for speculative resource ventures, drawing entrepreneurs from California, Colorado, and beyond to file incorporation papers in Carson City and Reno.

Mining and resource certificates from the 1960s represent a fascinating chapter in American entrepreneurial history, when optimism about untapped mineral wealth drove widespread public investment in exploration companies. Offered as a collectible.

Materials and care

Here are some quick tips to preserve your certificate for decades to come. 

Paper quality: Stock certificates were printed on a variety of certificate paper dating back to the mid 1800s. Most of these vintage collectable certificates have signs of used & wear , cancellation holes, pencil / pen writing, stamps, staples, adhesives, slight rips, missing coupons and other features. 

Handling: Always handle the certificate with clean, dry hands or use cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils and dirt from your skin onto the paper.

Storage: Store the certificate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Use acid-free folders or archival-quality plastic sleeves to protect it from moisture, dust, and physical damage.

Framing: If displaying the certificate, use a frame with UV-protective glass to prevent light damage. Ensure the certificate is mounted using acid-free materials to avoid any chemical reactions that could degrade the paper over time.

Avoid Exposure: Keep the certificate away from direct sun, extreme temperatures and humidity, which can cause the paper to warp or deteriorate. Avoid exposing it to pollutants, such as smoke or chemicals, which can cause discoloration.
