Comet Mining Company Certificates 1883 -

Good. 1883. Document. Two 1883 mining stock certificates for the Comet Mining Company operating in Frisco, Utah, but based in Paris. A few chips and small edge tears. One is in good condition with fold splits and the other has a rough-cut left edge and has split into two pieces at the horizontal fold line. Ornate woodcut engravings decorate the certificates. Image cropped due to scanner size. The certificates are for 500 francs each, each with 50 coupons that have blind stamps. The certificates state that 25 million francs or five million dollars of stock were for sale, and there was a legitimate Comet mine in Frisco, Utah during the 1880s, and it seems to have still been active several years later. ; 18" x 12" .
