Hand-painted First Day Cover with an original painting signed by Patricia Medina & Joseph Cotten in black inks.  A coin is displayed on the cover.  Very nice!  

Eunice Alter was a fantastic artist of PNC’s (Philatelists and Numismatists Covers). Her covers were in high demand due to the beautiful detail in each painting she made on covers that collectors wanted.  She passed away in 2021.  Many of the covers were shown to celebrities, resulting in friendships with her and some of the stars.  She was so well known and loved She was named Woman of the Year in 1983 by the Society of Philatelists and Numismatists in San Diego California on August 20, 1983.  Everything is this category came from Eunice Alter’s collection and she carefully painted all the artwork.  Each cover is signed by a celebrity and the painting has some reference to the celebrity who signed it.  Each cover is a one-of-a-kind hand-painted cover signed by the celebrity as mentioned in our description.  In some cases, she would also paint another one giving it to the celebrity but a few returned that signed as well but the paintings are different as each is hand painted.
