Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

Can someone tell me what are the banknotes used in the movie during the poker party in the train ?

1869: A new $100 United States Note was issued with a portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the left of the obverse and an allegorical figure representing architecture on the right. Although this note is technically a United States Note, TREASURY NOTE appeared on it instead of UNITED STATES NOTE.

WOW fery fast man !!!

In the lower margin there is something printed in red, can you imagine what it could be ?

I just used Google search and found it on Wikipedia.
Maybe some collectors could help you get a higher scan of the front and back.

Really interested to know what that writing is aswell.
Love Sergio Leone movies and this would be a great little paper prop.

A few things in those notes appear to be off though.
-Lincoln looks a little different.
-The red stamp to the right is slightly different.
-The numbers "A39145A" on the movie notes are red instead of blue.

I'm just being picky, i know

The red seal is not the same, sure !

As well the serial numbers in the screenshot have a cartouche around them, which is absent from the actual bill.

Another picture, if someone had the "Show me the money!" by Fred L. Reed,
maybe some news... And in the background there is a $5 I cannot identify ...

The red in the margin looks like an art detail. I would call it a pinstripe if it was on a car.

I thought it was some writing in the first shot but the new shot definitely shows it as some sort of art. Interesting.

The $5 bill in the background is a 1869 $5 . That's all. I think there is more bills on the table 'cause the back guy says "$20" and give 2 bills...

But it is my mind...

If someone can clear my brain with the possibilities for the coins on the table ...

Thank you.

The seal seems to be a problem ... Impossible to find something similar ...

Help needed...

I think the seal is a variation of this, treasury seal:

Hard to tell because it is so small, but it is close.

Could be a federal reserve seal, but i don't think so.

 

[Brigandia36]

The seal seems to be a small house and laurel around ...

Maybe the treasury house stylised with laurel around ... ?

Just saw "Sabata" this night and it seems the red seal on the banknotes is the same on both... help !
