In 1924, Pennsylvania Rail Road Stock shares saw a low of $42.25 and a high of $50.00. So, at the very least, the shares reflected in this certificate were worth more than $42,0000. And on average, what you could buy for a dollar in 1924 would cost you $18.34. The money you would have paid for 1,000 shares of PRR in 1924 could have also bought you a lovely house in an affluent suburb.
But in 1970, the Pennsylvania Rail Road went bankrupt, and shares of stock in the company became worthless.
