Well, maybe a financial advisor first, Donuel. I don't believe stocks have a "face value," and you can't really "cash" them - you sell them. Could they have been bonds?
Somehow, I think you have some information mixed up. NYS is New York State, I assume? Do you have photocopies of what you sent in?
I don't believe there ever was such a thing as "Apple MacIntosh Computer" stock. MacIntosh is a brand name of Apple Corporation, introduced sometime much later than 1972.
Was Apple in business in 1972? Was Steve Jobs out of diapers?
