The shares were given to me recently from my employer for my 10 year anniversary with the company.

take it to a stock broker. Better yet open an Ameritrade account and mail it to them, then you can sell the stock for only 9.99. No one really keeps their own stock certificates these days, the brokers handle that. Is your certificate old? If it is old and the company is still around you may have way more than 10 shares. With splits / stock divs / etc you could have way more than 10 shares. Are you sure you actually own the stock or did you just find an old cert? Either way it is worth following up on...

Yes, take it to a broker or contact the companies investor relations department. Tell them the type of stock, common, prefered, etc and when the certificate was issued. Remember that some stock is worthless or has minimal value. Also remember that the stock may have split or reverse split so "10 shares might not be 10 shares, it might be 20, 50 or a thousand.

Convert your certificate to actual shares and sell them through a brokerage firm. What company are the shares from?

Are they from a company that is still in business and are they worth a signfiicant amount. You could sell them through a broker, but commissions might eat you up.
