Specimen POCs, Uncirculated condition, SC-USBN. Lehman Brothers was a global financial services firm founded in 1847. Prior to 2008, Lehman was the fourth-largest investment bank in the United States. On September 15, 2008, the firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following the exodus of most of its clients, drastic losses in its stock, and devaluation of assets by credit rating agencies, largely sparked by a loss of confidence, Lehman’s involvement in the subprime mortgage crisis, and its exposure to less liquid assets. Lehman’s bankruptcy filing is the largest in US history, and is thought to have played a major role in the unfolding of the financial crisis of 2007–2008.
