upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3278 Posts	Posted 03/21/2016 10:20 am I picked up a '55 Franklin and a '38 Washington for $9 at an antique store yesterday. Both are in circulated condition, probably VG or so. My question is: Is there a premium for the "bugs bunny" in circulated condition and how did I do price wise for both coins. Incidentally this is the first coins I've bought in over a year. It felt good steve Edited by upstate 03/21/2016 12:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

So congrats on that snag! According to PCGS your '55 bugs bunny is around $18 and according to Cherry Pickers, it's rarity is only an R1. GREAT FIND! Report this Post to the Staff
