This extraordinary 2025 A Word from POTUS card features an authentic, hand-cut handwritten word penned by George Washington himself during his historic days as a land surveyor in Virginia. Certified by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS #AE3255), this unique piece houses a genuine word salvaged directly from a manuscript written entirely in the Founding Father\'s own hand.
The underlying land survey document details property boundaries in Botetourt County near Lexington, mapping out geographical markers such as wagon roads, pine corners, and creeks. The embedded word \"land\" is featured near the very bottom of the text, coming from the phrase describing the property \"belonging to the heirs of\". Interestingly, examining Washington\'s classic 18th-century cursive reveals his characteristic spelling habit where he dotted his letters loosely, making the word \"land\" look as though it carries an extra \"i\" or stroke in its penmanship.
Encased in its original magnetic holder and backed by full Beckett provenance, this museum-grade relic captures a tangible piece of George Washington\'s pre-presidential life on the American frontier.
