Message:: [QUOTE="harrync, post: 2755018, member: 58588"]It's probably a bond coupon. The "Dividendo No 49" sort of hints at that. [It could be some sort of stock with the dividends paid by coupon, but I have never seen that.  In the 18th and 19th centuries, the word "stock" was often used to refer to what today we call bonds.] I am not familiar with the bond it was cut from, but is probably six months interest of a $100 six percent bond. The bond itself is probably on the order of 10 x 14 inches [sizes vary, could be bigger or smaller.] There were 48 other coupons at least, most likely cut from the bond and redeemed when they came due. It is strange that here is no due date on the coupon; that's why I say "probably". If you check out Coins and Paper Money, Stocks and Bonds, on eBay, you might find it. Unless there is something special about this coupon that makes it in demand, it is most likely worth in the $5 area, maybe a bit more since it does not appear to come from a hoard.[/QUOTE]
