Description

Rare pairing of American icons—the master Imagineer and future commander-in-chief

Series 1935E one dollar silver certificate, quickly signed on the portrait side in black ink, “Walt Dis [a failed first attempt] Disney” and “Ronald Reagan,” and signed again on the reverse by Reagan. Encapsulated in a plastic PSA/DNA authentication holder. In very good condition, with several vertical folds, one passing through a small portion of Disney’s signature, two small holes near bottom edge, expected wrinkling and creasing, and Reagan tracing over the beginning of an unsuccessful first signature. Reagan and Disney shared a professional and personal relationship for years. Reagan emceed the televised opening festivities of Disneyland, and later urged the USPS to create a Walt Disney commemorative stamp. A highly unusual pairing and format.
