The Bank of Chambersburg Obsolete $1, Haxby PA-60, with signatures of G.R. Messersmith, Cashier and Wm. Heyser, President., dated 1861. An American Bank Note Co., Philad. engraved note using a vermillion tint and a dynamic layout, with the Gothic title at top center, counters with vermillion surrounds in the upper corners, and vignettes in the lower corners. The center shows a large, white "1" on a vermillion die. In lighter tint are the flanking "1" protectors and the micro-lettered guilloche below. At left, Franklin, seated with legs crossed, appears to have been interrupted while doing research. He uses his right index finger to keep his place in one book, and rests his left hand on perhaps his writing desk. At right, he instructs the child at his knee by discussing a bust of Washington.
