Extended Information

This scarce Family Dollar Stores Specimen Stock Certificate was printed in 1979. Family Dollar was founded in in 1959 in Charlotte. By 1971 they had opened 100 stores and 200 just a few years later. They grew to 8000 locations before being acquired by Dollar Tree in 2014 after pressure from activist investor Carl Icahn demanded the company be put for sale.

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.
