When is a stock certificate, not really a stock certificate? Well this Number 7 for 1,000 shares to Tranmor Coffin on September 16, 1881 may not be one. First of all the Nevada and Oregon was a nightmare! It was organized to start at one city, but never even went there. It was planned to go south, but was built north. It had to go through five name changes. It took three years to lay enough track to go from Reno to Sun Valley - a Reno suburb. And then this may not be a real stock certificate. The stock holders were furious. They voted to add more stock to the company and gave it all to themselves so they would have the majority at the next meeting. The management was incensed. The meeting ended up in a violent argument where several people were shot and one killed! So, is this a legitimate stock certificate? You decide! State: City: Date: HWAC# 99479
