Marathon 10 c H.J. Messenger
Grade: UNC    

---

October 30, 1862. A nice remainder with three broad margins (the right margin is close, but not into the design) for this scarce merchant. Messenger formed seven banks or banking houses, but with the advent of the 10% tax on obsoletes in circulation, he changed careers and was into real estate and insurance until he died in 1897.
