(updated post to correct serial number)

This is a crop (attached) from a very high quality picture of one of the Ingram auction bills
It's the front of L49839325B Series 1963A (in case you want to check against the list of found bills)
It has purple on it, from the silver nitrate used by the FBI for fingerprint checking.
You can see the agent's initials to the left side of the image.

I believe they only did this to bills on the top and bottom of bundles. Not all bills have this purple stain
Why is that important? Well, if there were straps or bundles on the bills, any possible marks might be on these bills.

If you look closely at this image (and no I didn't modify it)...you can see a two thin veritical lines across Hamilton's right eyeball.
Arguable these look like they could have been caused by long term compression/decomposition of a thin rubber band.

I don't think the FBI process would have caused them. They are not on non-purple-stained bills.

Sure it's just speculation, but it's interesting I think.

The speculation is: If Cooper received bills strapped in currency straps, how did this bill get a thin rubber band wrapped around it?

either it's a mark from the band or it was folded in the middle....

For comparison, here's another bill.
Photo is of same quality (From the Ingram auction)

it's not a purple stained bill, so probably not on top or bottom of bundles found.

it's too hard to make out the exact serial number. The ingram auction included another scrap with this, but that scrap and this scrap don't seem to agree to me. (on visible serials)

In any case, it's good for comparing to see if there's any deformation across Hamilton's eye. I don't see any

Arguably, there's some vertical deformation..possibly there and different because it was an internal to the bundle?

I don't think it's a fold mark because the bills were stuck in a bundle. The FBI separated them into about 12 bundles for the press conference, but originally, the Ingrams only had 3

so if there was folding, all bills would be affected in a bundle?

so how could it get that mark, if the bills were first covered in that area by bank currency straps?

interesting Shutter. I see what you mean. The two lines are not parallel from top to bottom.
