Description

This very rare Sealaska Corp Specimen Stock Certificate was printed in the 1980s. Sealaska was founded in 1972 and was created from the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 to settle aboriginal land claims. Sealaska has over 23,000 Alaska Native shareholders and the for-profit company primarily deals in land, natural resources, seafood, and environmental services.

Sealaska stock is not publicly traded. It can only be obtained by descendants of the original shareholders of 1972 making this stock certificate extremely rare. Most are Tlingit, Haida, or Tsimshian descendants.

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.
