No Bugs Bunny Roosie's for PCGS! Post 'em if you have them!

So the new Cherrypicker's guide has three different date "Bugs Bunny" Roosevelt dimes listed. In the new book they list the 1949-S, 1953-S and 1955-S dates and have assigned FS-401 to attribute them. PCGS has chosen to NOT recognize them. Not sure why but the pictures in the book are horrible so maybe that has something to do with it. PCGS also is not recognizing the 1954 Doubled die reverse, DDR-002. Does anyone have any good pics of a "Bugs Bunny" Roosevelt dime? I have a couple I believe and will try to take pics in the coming days. The variety has clash marks at the mouth of Roosevelt which make him look like a rabbit or so it says in the CPG.

    Are they like the Franklin Halves?

    I’ve got a couple of Ben Franklins. It haven’t heard of the Franklin Delano Roosevelts.
    I looked up the meaning of the name Franklin and it said “land owner of free but not noble origin , probably bad teeth”

    @Manorcourtman - FYI, none of the new varieties from the new CPG are recognized yet by PCGS. They just haven't gotten around to it, yet.

    You are correct. Cool! The email I rec'd said they would not be recognizing it.

    And here is an overlay I just made along with some heavily die polished trueview images I just found on the CoinFacts website that appear to be the variety. The die polish is easier to see than the teeth though. This variety doesn’t seem to be rare, I found a bunch of them on eBay just now. The Cherry Picker book, which I just received a copy of today from Amazon, says the variety is worth $40 in MS-66 with the regular non variety being worth $25 in the same grade. But with a catchy nickname like Bugs Bunny, it might catch on and end up popular.

    Can't say it was actually worth the effort but I think I pulled one from my Dansco. There's something going on here. Plus heavy die polishing on the rev and a heavy die clash above the right leg of the ONE. You're right, the pictures in the book stink!!

    You are right - looks like they just added the new CPG varieties (a bunch of them, anyway) very recently. The new Washington quarter varieties that I checked for just a few days ago are now listed. Didn't realize you received an email from PCGS about the dime varieties - thanks!

    I went ahead and bought a couple raw and a couple slabbed ones that appear to be the 53-s bugs bunny variety off of eBay just now, just in case this one becomes popular. Be careful if you do this, there are several sellers using stock photos that are obvious bug bunny Roosevelts.

    I just fixed the overlay I posted earlier. I got confused and flipped the reverse wrong the first time. I realized this after I saw the overlay that @OAKSTAR posted. Here it is fixed

    Some of the die polished 53-s that look like Bugs Bunnies might also be the “acorn” variety.
    Like this one I just found on eBay

    Here’s info on that one from the new Cherry Picker book

    Here’s one of the slabbed ones I bought that I think is a Bugs Bunny. It’s a 67 and looks like either the NGC picture on the bottom or the top left one. The toning makes it hard for me to tell which one it is

    It's the Nosferatu variety.
