I have a question.

While cleaning up the attic of the parental home, I found a Heineken Holding stock certificate from 1972, which I gave as a gift in my youth

Full of enthusiasm I went to the ABN AMRO bank for information on how to cash this in.

Unfortunately I received a negative answer after a few weeks, with the reason that the shares had to be exchanged when Heineken went public at the time.

Dissatisfied with this decision, I contacted Heineken Holding itself.

After a few weeks of research, I got eventually the positive news that I was allowed to hand in the piece to the Physical Pieces department, again of the ABN AMRO bank. But one day after the appointment I received a phone call from the bank that they had to suspend the appointment, because it was not entirely clear how they should take this piece and what the procedure was.

Well, after a full week, yesterday I was told by the bank that the piece was worthless.

Still disconcerted, I am now trying to find out if there are several people who have experience with old shares, of existing companies and their value.

I would like to hear your reaction about this and there may be people who specialize in this. I'm getting stuck now ...

Thanks in advance!

In case the AA bank has informed you that the piece is worthless, they should certainly be able to explain why. You do not state the nominal value of the share, is it 100/200 1000 guilders ?? It is a bit easier if you take a photo or scan of the stock and enter it in the catalog. Then the experts can watch.

The heading for this is securities

Am I seeing that correctly? A quarter of a million guilders?

I saw this one on the Belgian stock site:

"" It sometimes happens that old 'bearer shares' are found when clearing an attic or cellar . Sometimes the amounts stated on it are significant. And does the finder already dare to dream about an unexpected and unexpected fortune.
Research work

Usually such "bearer shares" are unfortunately worthless. Because they are several decades old, the companies or firms to which they are linked often no longer exist. This means that the initial value of the shares is now non-existent. To find out with certainty, you can always have it checked whether the shares still have value. This can be done through your banker. He calls on experts for this. That research work is not on the cheap side. And sometimes even more expensive than the effective value of the shares in question. So be sure to ask about the cost of that scavenger hunt before you decide to continue "" ".

In this case, I recommend that Adam 2 first ask in writing through a complaints line at both Heineken and AA Bank why the shares would be worth nothing anymore. This is now mandatory because it has already been said that they are worth nothing. So there is science and there is nothing more to find out. So 2 registered letters 14 euros and two weeks for a statement give.

They probably only have collector's value, given the mandatory registration (usually digital) with an intermediary or central institute. To prevent money laundering, etc. See, among others, Dirkzwager Company law .

Dear Forum Readers,

A very surprising turn in this case!

I am accused of theft by the bank and have been summoned 10, now 7 days to return, of a piece that has already been in our possession, since 1978/79.

Actually my mother, a woman who has not even stolen a dime in her life, because she gave it to me as a present at the age of 12. And because several tia's can no longer remember how the financial settlement took place at the time.

2 points that the bank indicates that prevent me from deriving any rights from the document. The cf document was never in private hands. may be, and the piece was already silver-plated in 1999. Huh? But the original has been in our attic for almost 40 years.

And just to be clear, I started cleaning the attic around October last year. 2 times 10m3 of rubbish collected over the years, I removed with a number of men. This piece only appeared then, when it was finally possible, to finally move around properly in my parental attic.

To be continued!

For what it's worth, an acquaintance with knowledge told me that this so-called 'collector's item' could normally never be in private hands.

Yes Arco, I also indicate that!

So what went wrong here 40 years ago, I don't know! The fact remains that I have it in my hands. A piece, which is "Bearer".

So want this to get to the bottom of it, until I hand it over to the bank!

Shares whose title deed is issued in certificates. The holder of that documentary evidence is also the owner of the shares and can therefore exercise their statutory rights. These shares are therefore not registered and can easily be passed on to third parties. The shareholders are not registered. Only an NV can issue bearer shares. The shares of a BV are always registered.

Amsterdam 2: Why would the bank want that worthless piece if it has already been cashed in and accuse you of theft? It is a very special thing to say or write something like that without any evidence. This has to come from a legal department in the bank, and they are generally very careful about unverified charges.

I assume that you will certainly not hand over the document after such an accusation and a lawyer is in order here.

Anyhow a lot of strength.

Hi Harry56,

No, I certainly do not intend to. Then they come to my address to arrest me!

They indicate, because it has already been silver plated, they want to have this piece in their hands, to destroy it.

I am not a lawyer, but you own and own the share, right? Surely it cannot be that the share has been redeemed? I assume arrest is a cynical comment from you. For you, it is now about the fact that you, as the owner of the share, want to cash in precisely because the bank may have ever made a mistake? Or am I missing something here? Perhaps this forum discussion will be closed, because it is no longer a collector's item. But I am curious and will not be the only one.

Hi Harry56,

In response to the letter from the bank, I asked them to substantiate how this piece was silvered, without taking it. original item.

Well, in their last paragraph they indicate, if the item is not received within 10 days, they will report the theft. I don't know what to do next.

Theft of a worthless piece of paper.

Wondering how many years you have to go to prison for that.

Dear Frieslandzolder,

At the moment, the case and share certificate are with a lawyer. They do have some critical points, in response to a letter from ABN AMRO, in which they state that the certificate should have been confiscated and destroyed, when exchanging it after a cashless transfer if I say it correctly in 1999!

And that it had to be returned within 10 days, otherwise the theft would be reported.
