Title: MORE EBAY SCAMMERS "COMMEMORATIVE FLYING LOON"
Post by: 1971HemiCuda on September 24, 2008, 06:29:53 pm: Look at this auction for a so called RARE 1973 Commemorative $1 note.

This is a direct quote from the seller. "TO COMMEMORATE 30 YEARS OF THE LOON DOLLAR, A SPECIAL LOGO WAS ADD BY A PRIVATE COMPANY IN 2007 ON THE LAST CANADIAN PAPER DOLLAR, ISSUED IN 1973"
