Is original stock considered a gift or an inheritance? 


If you were a joint tenant with your aunt, then at her death her share (undivided one-half interest) passed to you by operation of law (i.e., you "inherited" her one-half interest which would receive a stepped up basis as of the date of her death). 

 

You will have to determine the original basis of your one-half, however.
