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 green specimen proof stock certificate from RJR Holdings Group, Inc., printed around 1989, features cancellation holes, stamps, and handwritten annotations, indicating its status as a proof and its historical authenticity.

R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, formed in Winston-Salem in 1875, became a significant player in the tobacco industry, primarily known for its cigarette production. In 1985, R.J. Reynolds merged with Nabisco to form RJR Nabisco, a major conglomerate in the food and tobacco industries. This merger set the stage for one of the most famous leveraged buyouts in history, which later inspired the book "Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco."

The RJR Holdings Group was part of the spinoff operations resulting from this leveraged buyout. This restructuring was a critical moment in corporate history, reflecting the complexities and high stakes of corporate takeovers and mergers.

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.
