It is not too uncommon to randomly find share certificates and be unsure of what to do with them. A common story is one of someone cleaning out the attic and discovering these certificates that had been purchased many years ago. If you don’t know what to do with them, then this video is for you.
In this video, you will learn how to find out if these old stock certificates are worth anything and how you can sell them, including some other important information.
The simplest way to get your answers about these old share certificates is to bring them to your local bank. Your bank should be able to look them up and tell you how much they are worth. You can sell them if you want to. If they don’t belong to you originally, make sure you get permission from their original owner to do this or have the original owner gift them to you. Keep in mind that if you do sell them, then you will have to pay taxes on them.
