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 a purple bond certificate from the Greyhound Corporation, issued in 1975 and due in 1990 for $25,000. It features a beautiful vignette of a Greyhound dog, with cancellation holes, stamps, and writing present.
The Greyhound Corporation, founded in 1914, is best known for its intercity bus transportation services. The company grew significantly through the 20th century by acquiring smaller bus lines and expanding its route network across North America. Greyhound became a household name synonymous with long-distance travel, recognized for its iconic Greyhound logo. Over the years, Greyhound diversified into other areas, including package delivery and sightseeing services.
In the 1980s, Greyhound faced financial challenges and underwent restructuring. It eventually became part of Laidlaw International, which was later acquired by FirstGroup, a British transport company, in 2007. Today, Greyhound continues to operate as one of the largest providers of intercity bus transportation in the United States, serving millions of passengers annually.
