When Prudential Insurance went public many moons ago I was given 51 shares of stock at no cost to me because we had a small life insurance policy with them. If I sell this stock I do not know what I have to claim. I've asked a few people and they don't seem to know. Will I have to claim the whole shot. In most cases they ask what you paid for it and will not accept ($ 0 .Thanks for your help!
