President Andrew Johnson Boldly Signed Cut Autograph, Likely as Pres! PSA Auto

Title:
Andrew Johnson Signed Cut from Presidential Document — PSA/DNA Slabbed & Certified Authentic

Description:
Presented is a bold and elegant cut signature of Andrew Johnson, extracted from a larger official document. The autograph, in Johnson’s hand, is penned cleanly in dark ink on lightly toned parchment. Housed in a PSA/DNA encapsulation with red label, the piece is certified “AUTHENTIC – ANDREW JOHNSON – CUT” with certification number 84239803. The partial surrounding text indicates that this signature was clipped from an official document, likely one executed during Johnson’s presidency (1865–1869). Remarkably, while most presidentially issued documents bearing his name were stamped rather than personally signed, this authentic, handwritten example is especially desirable for its rarity and historical value.

Historical Context:
Andrew Johnson (1808–1875) became the 17th President of the United States following Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in April 1865. He presided over the turbulent early years of Reconstruction and was the first U.S. president to be impeached, though he was acquitted by a single Senate vote. As president, Johnson frequently authorized documents using a stamped facsimile of his signature, making actual hand-signed items from his presidency particularly scarce. This clipped signature, likely from an official presidential appointment or commission, provides a rare and tangible connection to one of the most constitutionally significant administrations in American history.
