 | | As interesting certificates become harder to find, Scripophily is expected to be an exciting investment but as with any other investments, especially in antiques, there are never any guarantees. |
 | | There are many factors that determine value of a certificate including condition, age, historical significance, signatures, rarity, demand for item, aesthetics, type of company, original face value, bankers associated with issuance, transfer stamps, cancellation markings, issued or unissued, printers, and type of engraving process. |
 | | The hobby of Scripophily is a fascinating documentation of financial history. |
