Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Consolidation Bank. Jan. 4, 1862. $1. Fine.，(PA-420 G2a). Imprint of the American Bank Note Co., Philada. Red protector outlined white ONE. Center, under curved title, wide view of the "Launching of the Adriatic" vignette. Immense crowd on wharf witnesses launching April 1856. Upper corners and bottom corners, intricate dies that match. Engraved signatures. Machine numbered 3950. The Haxby Plate Note. A rare historical vignette type, with this type being the most (not the best phrase) available. A rare issued note from a rare bank and series. We would believe there are five or so of these out there in collections and none of them are high grade.
