Crisp Certificate offered as a collectible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe certificate features a detailed miners-at-work vignette showing three men breaking ore and loading a mine cart underground, framed by ornate lathework panels noting the company's $2,000,000 capitalization and $5 assessable shares. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNamed for the famed Wall Street financier, the Jay Gould was discovered in 1884 and became the principal mine of the Gould-Stemple district in Lewis and Clark County, northwest of Helena. The mine proved to be one of the district's real producers: output through 1914 was estimated at $2.5 million, more than 95 percent of it gold, and most of the district's roughly 216,000 ounces of lode gold through 1959 came from the Jay Gould. This was no paper-only promotion. \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUnissued and never signed, this certificate survives in remarkably clean condition with crisp printing, a bright field, and full margins. Territorial Montana mining certificates from producing mines are getting harder to find, and the Jay Gould name gives this one crossover appeal for both Western mining collectors and Gilded Age Wall Street enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ticker History","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50536903508255,"sku":"","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/8757\/1743\/files\/78.jpg?v=1737758200","url":"https:\/\/shop.tickerhistory.com\/products\/jay-gould-mining-company-montana-unissued-stock-certificate","provider":"Ticker History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
