I showed it in my CCN column and it seems it took off. I see it as a standard listing in Charlton. Are folks looking for this one? Click Image To Enlarge Report this Post to the Staff

denny7000 Pillar of the Community Canada 1018 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 10:18 pm Yes I have been looking for one for a couple years now and have not found one. I have just recently found one of the "cigar" 1996 toonies listed in Charlton. Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/05/2015 1:12 pm Roger, It's kind of cool. Back when I wrote about it I would have never guessed anybody would care. But that was 16 years ago. A lot has changed in the hobby since then. I think adding varieties into the back of the book in every edition of Charlton has helped varieties a lot.
