Collectible Stocks and Bonds from North American Railroads
by Terry Cox

Georgia

One of original colonies
Became state: January 2, 1788

Because of its advantageous terrain, this state has seen a moderate number of railroad company incorporations, especially in the post-Civil War era. Pre Civil-war certificates are highly sought after and generally difficult to find. While the state seal is known to grace a large number of varieties of private and state-issued paper money, it only has been recorded on a tiny number of railroad certificates.

Because of its sparse design, Georgia's state seal has always been particularly useful as a logo design. The design consists of three pillars supporting an arch with sword-bearing militia man inside. Woven into the design are the words Constitution, Justice, Wisdom and Moderation.
