^Lot 63 Andrew Johnson

Rare bank check, 8 x 3, filled out in another hand and signed by Johnson, as president, payable to Thos. Cooper—Stable acct. for $235.12, August 23, 1867. Affixed to the top right corner is a two-cent Internal Revenue stamp marked “8/23/67” in an unknown hand and signed “AJ” by the president. Cloth matted with a colorized portrait and framed to an overall size of 13 x 20.5. In fine condition, with a cancellation cut through his signature and the signature a shade light. Cooper, this payment’s original recipient, was a coachman in the president’s stables. Johnson checks are very uncommon; this is one of only a scant handful we have ever offered.
