Hey Everyone, Today I have been going through my Ben Franklin half dollars I have scored over the years while CRH. While inspecting my Franklin half dollar for errors I found this awesome 1956 "Bugs Bunny" FS-401 Ben Franklin half dollar. I have found over 400 half dollars over the years CRH and I decided to take a closer look at them today. I can't believe I have had this in my collection and didn't even know. What an awesome find. Enjoy!

Sorry, but weak as Bugs Bunny's go. Should have two teeth.

Looks a bit Charlie Chaplin-like to me.

Great looking "Bugs". I just did a little search and they've been found on the '56's as well. Great find arby96!

There are many types of the "Bug Bunny" Varity. 1949 through 63. No known 57 or 58. The 1955 is the one that appears to show two teeth from the die clash and the 1956 shows one. Below is the 1955 and 56 variety. These are well known and documented verities all one has to do is look it up.

1955 Verity


1956 Verity

A quick tag on to the topic. I didn't even know that I had this one. I looked at it closely because I thought at first that it was just a shadow but, nope it's a die clash. This one looks like it's going up his nose. WooHoo! That's it from me on this topic. Thanks for inspiring me to look.

Dsking, that is what these sites do, inform and inspire others. There is so much to learn about numismatics, and collecting. I have been collecting since the age of 13 and really got back into it in my late 20's. I learn almost something new every week about coins, errors, verities. Also about how some of those things happen. Keep an open mind and suck the knowledge out of this site. Its rich in information. Thank you CCF for creating a great place to come to, too post and share our passion with others.

I agree with Arby on this, I have been collecting since about 1972 (I was 10). I still learn something new almost every day (if the person posting up a coin is willing to pass on their knowledge to us)
