How much is this stock certificate worth?

Question

I have a client who turned in a stock certificate of 100 shares of Standard Oil company of indiana purchased in december 1 1980. And also gave me another certificate from amoco. I have done some research and realized that he got the extra 100 amoco due to a 2 for 1 split. And along the years received more stock splits. the company now is bp. The client reinvested all dividends since day one. does anyone have any idea what these certificates are worth now.

Answer 1

This is a bit complex with splits, dividends and a merger with subsequent splits and dividends.

I would deposit them into the brokerage account, and it will be sent to the transfer agent who will validate all the information.

Tell the client this is the reason why you want to hold stocks in "Street name."

It prob has some decent value.
