Per https://www.pcgs.com/varietyfaq, PCGS currently Variety Attributes varieties from the Cherrypickers' Guide, 4th Edition Vol. II and 5th Edition Vol. I (with some exclusions).
The Cherrypickers' Guide, 6th Edition Volumes I, II and III were released in 2024. Recently, PCGS variety attributed a new Franklin Half Dollar FS variety that first appeared in the Cherrypickers' Guide, 6th Edition. There is now a1952-S PCGS MS63 FS-401 Bugs Bunny Franklin Half Dollar in the PCGS census. The 1952-S FS-401 Bugs Bunny Franklin Half Dollar is absolutely the rarest of all FS-401 Bugs Bunny Franklin Half Dollars.
Since it is, in my opinion, a major variety, will the 1952-S FS-401 Bugs Bunny Franklin Half Dollar be added as an item in the Franklin Half Dollars Complete Variety Registry sets?

Having it show up 'naturally' is highly unlikely - someone who has one of the sets, and has that coin, will likely have to manually request it, and cross their fingers for how long it takes to get accepted, if they choose to accept it at all. -- If that someone happens to be you, you'd have to click the "Report a cert that should match this composite" link from within the set's private/edit page. You can expect a response time anywhere between 3 days and 3 months, if they respond at all. With a population of ONE, I wouldn't hold my breath on them adding it, but stranger things have certainly happened.
I doubt it
