BACK IN THE U.S.A.: LENNON signs a check in the year he won the right to permanent American residency

Bank check, 7.5 x 3.75, filled out in another hand and signed by Lennon, payable to Moore House Secretaries for £242, January 9, 1976. Among the most notable events in Lennon’s life during this year was official government approval to remain in the U.S. as a permanent resident after a protracted legal battle sparked by the musician’s “subversive” activities during the Nixon administration. Accompanied by a 1994 letter of authenticity from Frank Caiazzo. Matted against a 1982 “John Lennon Collection” poster to an overall size of 28 x 41. In very good to fine condition, with file holes and several staple holes at upper left, a few mild wrinkles, vertical fold touching first letter, a few tiny water spots to signature, and ink a shade light but clear and distinct. COA Roger Epperson/REAL and R&R COA. Oversized.
