<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1126243, member: 15929&quot;]Ahhhh. The Bugs Bunny Franklin! Kinda like the Elvis of the coin collecting world in that its history and name is what propels it into todays collecting environment!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Bugs Bunny is nothing more than the end result of a die clash, due to its design, and the clever marketing approach of enterprising coin dealers in the late 50&#039;s early 60&#039;s assigning the die clash a name!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since it is a die clash, it can occur on literally ANY of the business strike Franklin Halfs and is not &quot;strictly&quot; limited to 1955.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just recently, due to some unforeseen legal pressures, PCGS began attributing the Bugs Bunny name to the branch mint coins such as Denver.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/Franklin/Franklin1953-DObverseDieClash142079.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/Franklin/1953-DBugsBunnyFS-40114207981PCGSMS62FBLSlabObvW.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And rightly so since as I stated, its nothing more than a &quot;named&quot; die clash which, due to registry inclusion in the PCGS Franklin Variety sets, most Franklin Collectors find appealing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So............do not limit your searching to only the P Mint and CPG defined dates/mintmark but check EVERY Business Strike Franklin Half for the &quot;Bugs Bunny&quot; die clash. Some are way more prominent than others but they are still BB Die Clashes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
