Description

"Revoked by Death"—a rare bounced check from November 14, 1963, returned unpaid due to the president's assassination

Personal check drawn on the First National City Bank, 8.5 x 3.25, filled out in another hand and signed by a Kennedy secretary on the president's behalf, payable to C&P Tel. Co. for $0.85, November 14, 1963. Two internal bank documents are stapled to the check: a "Returned Unpaid" slip, annotated "Revoked by Death"; and a "Dishonored Check Advice" slip, noting that the check was "revoked by death" due to Kennedy's assassination on "11/22/63." In fine condition. Consignor notes that he acquired the check from the estate of noted JFK collector Robert L. White, who had obtained three similar bounced checks from Kennedy's personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln.
