Abraham Lincoln Autograph Cut Signature — “Abraham Lincoln” with “The 89th” Notation — PSA/DNA Certified (Cert. #85797395)
Description:
Presented here is an authentic autograph cut signature of Abraham Lincoln, boldly signed “Abraham Lincoln” in dark ink on a clipped portion of an original handwritten document. Above the signature appears the handwritten line “…States of America, the 89th,” suggesting the fragment originates from a larger official document or formal correspondence.

The autograph cut remains in very good condition, exhibiting expected age toning and minor edge irregularities consistent with a period document fragment. The signature itself remains bold and well-preserved.
The item has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, with the holder label reading “Cut — Abraham Lincoln — PSA/DNA Certified — Authentic Auto.” Certification number: 85797395.
