$9 Obsolete - 1861 Virginia "holy grail" Monticello PMG VF-20/annotations/pinholes
US Currency-Obsolete Currency
The Monticello Bank was organized as a free bank in 1853 and—almost uniquely among the state's banks—survived the Civil War and became the Charlottesville National Bank in July, 1865.
This particular note is signed by Alexander Pope Abell as president, and B. C. Flannagan as cashier. Abell was a prominent Charlottesville businessman; his 1859 Greek Revival style mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and still stands today.
The $9, long considered the “key” to the popular odd-denomination Monticello set, could’ve been paid out in change to someone making a $1 purchase with a $10 note. The Bowers reference lists two known examples of this type, and this figure mostly accords with public auction records. This example is arguably the nicest of the lot: even, light wear, full frame, and bold coloration all facilitate allure. Collector interest in $9 banknotes has remained resolute over the decades, with the Monticello $9 arguably being the pinnacle of the spectrum.

Lot #287 - 1920 U.S. Philippines Woodrow Wilson Silver Medal PCGS MS-64
Hammer: $2,600
Collector Lots-Medals
Ga Ha Ha Consignment. HK-449, R.4 in silver. 23 graded MS-64, 10 higher at PCGS. Struck to commemorate opening of the Manila Mint in 1920, which was the first and only U.S. Branch mint located outside of the United States proper. Manila struck coinage from then until 1945 when it was destroyed during the closing days of World War II, after Japan had seized the mint for production since 1941. Blistering luster generates adequate eye-appeal, along with pleasing vintage patina for this hefty specimen.

Lot #457 - 1929 PCGS MS-64+ CAC
Hammer: $52,750
Gold $5-Indian Head Half Eagle
17 graded MS-64+, 14 (all MS-65) higher at PCGS. The final entry into the Indian half-eagle also turns out to be one of the most difficult to obtain at the gem grade level. In some respects, 1929 could be considered the "easiest key" or the "most difficult semi-key" depending on how one delineates rarity. Probably only six other dates prove more elusive to collectors at this level.

Strong luster checks off the first item on the list of accolades, followed immediately by what appears to be unexpectedly and pleasantly original color, including medium golden iridescence joined by much grapefruit-orange accenting. A very good but not quite excellent strike is mostly responsible for all that nice energy, but the grade gets held back slightly by two tiny nicks on the brow and another smaller nick on the lip.
