Investopedia explains 'Erasure Guarantee'

Banks and transfer agents for these securities may require an erasure guarantee, if there are any erasures or corrections on the document, to protect themselves against future claims if in the future it is determined that fraud has occurred. An erasure guarantee is similar to a document being witnessed by a notary public and typically takes the form of a medallion signature guarantee affixed to the erasure.
