The image shown above represents the catalog variety known as BAL-662d-B-20. The image shown is normally the best currently available. If images of similar quality exist, I give precedence to issued certificates because they were once genuine securities.

I do not have a high-resolution image for this variety. If you have scanning capabilities, I will appreciate a 300 dpi image for my files. If your scanner is small, simply scan your certificate in several pieces. Overlap scans about 1.5 inches (3 cm) and I will stitch together. Photographs might be usable if they are evenly lit, in focus, and display small details such as printer names.

This image is one of over 21,000 rail-related images and over 2,000 coal-related images available on this website. Images of certificates come from collectors, dealers, and correspondents.

Some correspondents contribute images they capture online. I rarely learn the sources of those images. Consequently, if you see an image on this site that you think might be yours, and you want credit, please click on the email link of the listing to contact me. I want to give proper credit. If you are a dealer with a web presence, I will supply a link to your site.

I will gladly display your full name if you ask. Otherwise, I will protect your anonymity with an abbreviated listing. See more about the subject at Image References.
