Due to the tremendous pressure used, the parts of the image of one die may be impressed on the other. When planchets are then fed between them the resulting coins receive the distorted image. A well-known example is the &quot;<b>Bugs Bunny</b>&quot; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Half_Dollar#Collecting" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Half_Dollar#Collecting" rel="nofollow">Franklin Half Dollar</a> of 1955, where part of the eagle&#039;s wing from the reverse gives Franklin the image of protruding teeth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
