Location: Star District, Humboldt County, Nevada Territory. This territorial stock certificate has a lot going for it. First, it was issued on Feb. 23, 1863, pre-Nevada statehood. Second, it is signed by John Bigler, who was the third governor of California and the namesake of Lake Bigler (which became Lake Tahoe). He was the first to serve two consecutive terms. During his time in office (1852-1856), he moved the capitol to Sacramento and a branch mint was opened in San Francisco. Issued to J. Byers No. 216, for 10 shares. Vignette of John Bigler at left. Uncancelled. 4" x 9". Date: Location: Humboldt County, Nevada HWAC # 54362
