Old titles, what value?
As in any collection, the price of an old stock, bond is determined by supply and demand. However one can draw up a whole series of evaluation criteria such as the age, signatures, decoration, rarity and conservation state

But the basic rule is supply and demand. Thus, a loan from the city of Mortsel issued in 10 copies handwritten and dated 1855 is sold about 100 Euros, while a reserve share of the Société Générale de Belgique issued 800,000 copies in 1928 is currency around 300 Euros. Banks are indeed much more in demand than city loans of which only 2 collectors are known in Belgium.
All the actions of Eastern Europe, although often very pretty, have very few amateurs. A whole series of other titles even old and / or decorative are worth almost nothing because they are present in enormous quantity on the market and are therefore comparable to stamps at € 0.70 philatelists: Golden Mines of Kilo-Moto, Trust Colonial, ....

Unlike other collections, there is no price catalog for old Belgian titles. Some collectors publish from time to time a catalog containing all the titles of their theme known on the market but most of the time without any indication of rarity or price because these two notions fluctuate too much with the time to be able to be published. It is therefore the experience that makes it possible to properly evaluate the price of a security. The past has proven that prices can fluctuate sharply upwards or downwards. The best-known example is the action "Paris-France", a magnificent color action drawn by Mucha, whose few known examples sold at the end of the 80s in the thousands of Euros ... until the day when the We found a whole package in a loft fund ... the action is now worth in the hundreds of Euros. And this is of course not the only known case. On the other hand, shares that were sold in packs of 30 to 40 copies and which have gradually "landed" in collectors have thus gradually disappeared from circulation, and copies that are now occasionally found in auctions were more expensive. The prices you could get for your actions will vary from 0 Euro (unsaleable) to several hundred Euros or even more exceptionally. However, the majority of the actions found are quite common and are trading between some Eurocents and some Euros. As for stamps, if found in a drawer fund, it is about € 0.70 stamps in general rather than an Orval series! Finally, it should be noted that in Belgium, it is common to find trackable titles in a lot that your bank has given you and certified "worthless". We can help you where the banks are failing. |
