100 shares of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company, dated 1969.

Where should I go to research the value (if any...)

The question is whether they count as Royal Dutch Shell stock or not. Because then it would be like $5k in stock right there.

Apparently Royal Dutch Petroleum Company is now known as Shell.

If it is still valid, it is for Shell Oil (RDS NYSE)

Wall Street journal did a how to article to validate it

If these are legit, you’re holding a nice nest egg in your hand.

They’ve split 3 times since then, so you could have over 500 shares at the moment worth around $29,000.

Possibly more due to splits that have happened over the years. A couple of 2 for splits probably have happened in the last 48 years.

I’m thinking the punch marks on the right may indicate a sale, so it may only have value as a collector’s item.

With one hundred shares, and stock spits , and the current price of $55.27, it’s $28,588.96 in stock right there.

I think you’re right.

Punches

Another popular method of canceling a stock certificate is to with a hole-punch. Certificates missing a portion of their surface are rendered invalid, as are currency notes that have been punched or have had their serial numbers removed. The punch may be small and only applied to the edge of the certificate, or somewhere near the signature lines.

Cool looking, but no value. Maybe I’ll toss it in a frame and hang it on the wall. It still looks pretty cool.
