1955 "Bugs Bunny" Franklin Half Dollar

Few collectors realize that the 1955 Franklin half dollar wasn’t issued until the summer of 1956! When it was released, it made headlines and gave a big boost to the numismatic hobby. Now, you can own a 1955 “Bugs Bunny” variety Franklin half – still in collector-preferred Uncirculated condition after more than half a century!

You’ll get the lowest business strike mintage in the series and the best known of the Franklin errors – the “Bugs Bunny” variety. Called a die clash, this error occurred when the obverse and reverse dies hit each other without a planchet in between. The clash caused design details from the reverse to be impressed into Franklin’s lips, creating what appears to be buck teeth – hence, the nickname Bugs Bunny!
