Few signatures are sought after quite like that of Americas 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. As the American Civil War raged across the country, President Abraham Lincoln would unite the union in arguably it's roughest time as a young nation. Ultimately his push for change would be what caused others to seek his life, leaving the United States in shock on April 15th, 1865 as Lincoln would be assassinated. Offered here is an highly desirable Springfield Marine and Fire Insurance Company check, 7.5 x 2.75, filled out/hand written and signed by Lincoln, A. Lincoln, payable to Ruth Mathew & Weson for $5.00, January 12th, 1860. In fine condition, with an unobtrusive cancellation cut next to signature. Lincoln, penned only a handful of checks during his time, with few remaining in such fine condition as this offering. With the signature remaining bold & the colored tiers still vibrant on the Springfield issued bank check. Easily one of the finest you will see! Authenticated by PSA/DNA with a full letter of authenticity.
