Printed Stock Certificates are sent in a loose format; however, we do offer a binding option (pictured below) where the stock certificates are permanently bound in a hardcover book with "Stock Certificates" gold printed on the front of the binder.
Par Value is the nominal value of a bond, share of stock, or a coupon as indicated in writing on the document or specified by charter.
The authorized number of shares represents the maximum number of shares that can be issued legally by the company as stated in the company's charter.
