I have a stock certificate bought by an ancester in 1875.
he bought 100 shares in the Geddes & Bertrand Mill and mining company. (in Nevada)
What I'm wondering is, is it worth anything, (besides sentimental value.)
From what little I understand, he might have never cashed it in, the company may still be be around, (or might have been absorbed by another company.
Any help would ber appreciated.
