<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1131545, member: 24274&quot;]I went to the library today and looked up the Wall Street Journal for Nov. 21, 1994 -- the day those stock shares for First Virginia Banks were sold. Assuming they sold at the peak that day, that certificate would have gone for $25.7 million -- a loss of over $5 million! Ouch!</p><p><br /></p><p>Not many guesses on the market value of the certificates themselves, so I&#039;ll share: Collectively, I spent a bit over $100 for all six certificates. That seemed reasonable to me, given how rarely you see such high denominations. I have no real idea about the scarcity of these although average certificates from any of these companies are very common and would probably only sell for a dollar or two each.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
