jsb1561 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 3:44 pm Could some give me an idea of what this coin is worth, in the cherry pickers book I think it's a FS-401. This coin is not graded but I have a graded 1955 half dollar at MS-65 and I think this coin may look better. Anyone with knowledge on this coin please let me know what I have! Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7191 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 3:50 pm I would not call it a ms65 due to the chip on Francklyn's nose and the reeded bag mark by E pluribus Unum. Also there is some scratching on the cheek and the bell. I would go ms62-63. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 3:53 pm Yep, that is the Bugs Bunny CPG variety. I would grade it MS-63, too many contact marks for 65, and it would have a modest premium over a regular 1955. Report this Post to the Staff
jsb1561 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 4:07 pm I knew there would be a difference in price, I didn't know if Cherry Pickers Guide may give prices. All in all I did good... only paid 20 dollars for the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 4:24 pm Funny, I was looking at one of these on ebay the other day - I was price shopping but do not remember the prices! Just do a complete auction listing. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

CoinHunter53562 Pillar of the Community United States 2049 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 5:11 pm Nice looking example. I would probably put this at MS-62 due to the amount of contact marks and chatter in the fields and high points. That's with the assumption that most or all of the original mint luster is still there. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 9:54 pm Wow, kind of hard to say but I agree with MS62. This one is hard to see and you should probably have it in hand to grade. I would got to numismatic, coin values , and one other independent to determine value. Just remember that value is not necessarily is what the market will bear for the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 04:07 am I have a ANACS MS-64FBL that I bought my daughter when she was about 3 years old. She used to get on my lap and look at coins with me and as soon as she heard there was a bugs bunny coin she begged me to find her one Report this Post to the Staff
jsb1561 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 12:13 pm My big question is whats it worth, does anybody have a clue to it's value. I want to be sure I didn't pay too much (20 dollars). Report this Post to the Staff

thecoinologist New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 12:13 pm In my opinion for $20 you didn't pay too much. 1955 is a good date in the Franklin series in its own right, add in the bugs bunny and it's even more unique. You did fine! Report this Post to the Staff
jsb1561 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 6:23 pm I mailed this coin off today to PCGS to get an official grade, Hopping for a MS-63 but probably not. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 7:59 pm mine is in a ANACS slab and I never thought it was worth sending to PCGS for regrading. What are these things worth today in MS-64 FBL? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 8:03 pm Silver dropped again. $12.5363 for a half dollar Down -$4.73 $34.66/oz 5/5/2011 Report this Post to the Staff

Unless you have an MS65 FBL, you are not going to get any added value by getting it graded and the PCGS fees will pretty much equal or exceed the value of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
