Extended Information

This rare Bell Canada Specimen $25,000 Bond Certificate is from 1977 and has all its coupons. Founded by Alexander Graham Bell in 1880, who actually lived in Canada, as the Bell Telephone Company of Canada Ltd. It would become one of the largest and most important companies in Canada with a government-granted monopoly on all Canadian long-distance service. In 1968, Canadian legislation change the name to Bell Canada.

About Specimens:
Specimen stock certificates are certificates that were archived by printers and the company as perfect examples of the company’s stock issue. Specimen’s can be identified by their “specimen” stamp, stamped holes spelling “specimen”, or they are often issued with a serial number of a series of zeros. Often, they are also issued with no serial number at all. Specimens can also represent a design that was never issued. All of these attributes make the specimen stock certificate rarer than the issued version of the share. Many enthusiasts collect specimens as a whole new category of Scripophily.
