Extended Information

This RJR Holdings Group, Inc. specimen proof stock certificate was printed around 1990. R.J. Reynold Tobacco was formed in Winston-Salem in 1875 (these would later become brands of cigarettes). They merged with Nabisco in 1985 to become RJR Nabisco which later became part leveraged buyout that inspired the book Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco. The RJR Holdings Group was part of the spinoff of operations from this leverage buyout.

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.
