<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 3726531, member: 13307&quot;]Hey everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>Just picked this up today and it&#039;s got my curiosity piqued - it&#039;s a 1953 D Franklin Half Dollar (well, that&#039;s obvious) that I bought because IMO it is a &quot;Bugs Bunny&quot; Obverse Die Clash (or maybe it&#039;s better known as a &quot;Booger Nose&quot; since the clash is under the nostril.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, taking a closer look at it once I got it home, I&#039;m noticing something <i>really interesting</i> happening under his chin - to me, that looks like a doubled die.&nbsp; There is clearly an extra outline of metal under his chin (nowhere else on the coin that I can see) plus it looks like a slice was taken out of his throat.&nbsp; None of my other dates of BU Franklins have this &quot;slice&quot; - but of the 4 other 1953 D Bugs Bunny Obv Die Clashes I have in my possession, they ALL show it to some degree.&nbsp; (This coin is MUCH stronger than the others, though.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]999091[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]999089[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]999090[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think - is this just a known marker of the FS-402 (looking at the <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1953-d-50c-obv-die-clash-fs-402-fbl/509931" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1953-d-50c-obv-die-clash-fs-402-fbl/509931" rel="nofollow">PCGS Price Guide</a>, each of their examples has that slice showing, but none have the extra line of metal under his chin like this example.&nbsp; What&#039;s going on here?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
