My father recently passed away, and among his assets we found 350 shares of
Dyco Chemical and Coatings, a paint company located in St. Petersburg Florida
that is still in existence. The shares were purchased in the late 1970's.
After some poking around on the web, I found its symbol, DCOC, among a list
of deleted stocks, and was unable to find any historical pricing information.
According to Investopedia, we can get some idea of the worth, if any, of the
certificates by contacting the transfer agent, listed on the share certificate,
and using the Cusip number.
Does anyone have any experience in this sort of thing? Would it be more efficient
to contact the company directly? If the stock no longer exists on an exchange, does
that mean the shares are worthless?
Thanks very much for the help,
Martha
