Title:
James Buchanan Signed Cut Signature — PSA/DNA Slabbed & Certified Authentic

Description:
Offered is an original cut signature of James Buchanan, 15th President of the United States, boldly signed in period ink on an aged slip of parchment. The autograph is written in Buchanan’s recognizable hand, with “James Buchanan” clearly visible, though lightly faded with age. The piece is neatly clipped from a larger document or letter and mounted against a black backdrop to enhance contrast. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA tamper-evident holder with a label that reads “AUTHENTIC – JAMES BUCHANAN – CUT”, the signature carries certification number 83854300. The paper exhibits typical age-related toning and expected handling wear but remains intact and well-preserved within the slab.

Historical Context:
James Buchanan (1791–1868) served as the 15th President of the United States from 1857 to 1861, immediately preceding the Civil War. A former Secretary of State and U.S. Minister to the United Kingdom, Buchanan entered office during one of the most fractured and politically tense eras in American history. Though his presidency is often criticized for its inaction in the face of Southern secession, Buchanan’s long career in diplomacy and public service makes his autograph a valued addition to any presidential collection. His handwritten signature, often found on letters, official appointments, and executive orders, connects collectors directly to the final days of the antebellum Union.
