The value of the certificate itself is whatever someone will pay for it. HOWEVER....As for the stock itself...it's split 5 times since early 1986. Some splits were 4 for 1, some 2 for 1, etc. It's worth a whole lot more now than when it was issued. Iger and Eisner (especially) don't look too bad after you do the math. Contact Disney shareholder services for help. It's worth a lot!

Were you able to get a new certificate in your name? My understanding is that they are NOT issuing certificates. I got electronic ownership and a collectible certificate through giveashare.com but not a real negotiable certificate. 10 shares from 1986 has to be worth quite a bit! Congrats!

No we were not. They can issue the collectors edition for $50 but it was the look of the 80's one we wanted. Before it got turned in we brought it to staples and had them do a very high quality copy and laminate it to preserve it. It's now framed in my office.

Depending on when in 1986 these were purchased you could have well over $10,000 in Disney stock. Quite a nice gift.
