I personally collect intaglio engraved certificates from the U.S. and a few from other countries. I have a preference for railroad stocks, which is how I first started collecting, but I've branched into all manner of businesses -- mining, banking, utilities, transportation, and even theaters. I also have a soft spot for specimen certificates from the various bank note companies.</p><p><br /></p><p>I posted another thread on this subject already -- </p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t162034/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t162034/">http://www.cointalk.com/t162034/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This time I'm hoping to get some other fans of these beautiful securities to post their favorites.
