Extended Information

This Verizon Communications Specimen Stock Certificate was printed in 2006.

Verizon Communications Inc. was formed after the breakup of AT&T in 1984 as part of the rebranding process of the "Baby Bells" in the 1990s as Bell Atlantic changed its name to Verizon. Verizon subsequently expanded through the acquisition of AOL and Yahoo!. They are now the largest communications company by revenue second only to AT&T.

Verizon was added to the Dow Jones in 2004.

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.
