Mining Stock & Bond Certificates

This auction includes close to 200 lots of specimen and proof mining stocks and bonds. It is one of the largest groups of security printed mining archival material auctioned in the last 15 years. A considerable number of these certificates are “Discovery” pieces and new to the collecting community. Many of these pieces may not show again for many years and represent true mining certificate “Gems”.

The Gold Mining Company - Cataloger's Choice

Lot # 834. Issued stock certificate. Amazing and classic early Arizona stock certificate, 14.5 by 8.75 inches. Green border with green title, corporate seal and text with gold undertint of map of Music Mountains and Vincinity, Gold mountain on right, map with labeled railroad tracks for the A.&P.RR as well as different cities, counties, mountains and mines labelled. Extremely rare and popular certificate. XF condition. This is not from the archive or even a security printer, but I like its artistic design and wanted to include it with the extensive mining section included in this sale.
