MCI went public (at $10 per share) on June 10, 1972 (I know the year and month is right, the 10th is a bit of a guess). Blyth was the underwriter (3 million shares -- largest IPO up to that point). It was and remains an OTC stock (this was before the "national list, etc.") -- Bill McGowan (founder and visionary chairman for 20 years) hated monopolies and therefore hated the NYSE (with their specialists).
