Extended Information

This Galen Health Care Specimen Stock Certificate was printed in 1993. Galen Health Care was formed in 1993 when Humana spun off it's 77 Hospitals from it's heath insurance operation. In 1994 Columbia Hospital Corporation of American purchased the company.

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.
