When the consideration for which any such share was authorized to be issued, shall have been received by the company, such share shall be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable. The consideration received for any shares of capital stock without par value shall be truthfully stated, wherever required, in all papers required to be filed in the office of the Secretary of State, and in case such shares are issued for property, the appraised value of such property shall be given.
