Hi Darren Actually all of the stocks were issued to the parent company USSR & MC except for the first one. My guess is whenever they needed money for the operation they issued stock equal to how much money was sent to the crater as 4 of the 5 stocks are for different amounts. I am not an expert in corporate finances or legalities but my guess it was done for legal reasons. Unfortunately I could not figure out how much each share was worth but $100 would be a good guess as this seems to be a common amount around this era. BTW I sold one of the stocks already #16 so only one left. -- Mike -- Mike Jensen Jensen Meteorites 16730 E Ada PL Aurora, CO 80017-3137 303-337-4361 IMCA 4264 website: www.jensenmeteorites.com

Both have been folded in 1/3 as was common for Interesting that it took 5 months to unload 5 of the certificates. Guess not many people had faith in the operation. (Of course, in this case the nay-sayers were right). ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
