<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gatorsharon, post: 4180713, member: 8547&quot;]Thought the bonds were interesting. Have attached part of article I found online regarding the bonds:</p><p><br /></p><p>Your New York Central Railroad Co. bonds, and Hudson River Railroad Co. bonds, can no longer be redeemed as debt instruments.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can only sell these dead bonds to scripophiles, but even here you&#039;ll be lucky to get $5 per bond certificate from a dealer, said Caleb Esterline, director of securities research at R.M. Smythe &amp; Co Inc. in New York.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had your mother, and countless others, paid closer attention to the New York Central bonds they owned, then they could have received solid value for their bonds in 1968 -- and some payment for these bonds as recently as 1982.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, New York Central bonds have a face value only a scripophile can love, Esterline said.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
