I inherited an old printed stock certificate, for shares now worth about $9,000.00, and need to send it to the holding company so they can re-register it to me.
My first thought was to use registered, insured U.S. mail, return receipt requested.
However, the holding company representative suggested Fedex is more reliable.
I don't see anything on Fedex's web site about insurance. I'm leery of sending the certificate uninsured. If it had to be replaced, it would cost me around 5% of the face value, plus a $75.00 fee.
Anyway - if you had to mail a stock certificate, how would you do it?
