Answer
Nancy, those shares are very old and predate most of the information I have available.

Usually the best way to track down old certificate's value is to contact the Transfer Agent. If there is one, it should be listed on the certificate. However, these probably are so old the agents are no longer in business. If so, you could try contacting the Province of Incorporation (listed on the certificate as well) and see what information they have available. Or, you could contact a broker and see if they can perform a more detailed search for you.
