1955-p Bugs Bunny Franklin Half Dollar FS-401 50c Grades Choice+ Unc
1955-p Bugs Bunny FS-401 Franklin Half Dollar 50c Grades Choice+ Unc. Not only does the 1955-P Silver Franklin Half Dollar have the lowest mintage of the entire series, but it has a unique story as well – during the minting process, the dies were struck together without a blank planchet in between them. This “die clash” resulted in some of the details from the reverse ending up on the obverse, giving Benjamin Franklin a set of what many collectors describe as buck teeth – hence the coin’s nickname: The “Bugs Bunny” Franklin Half Dollar.
