Got a nice PCGS MS65 1951 Bugs Bunny Franklin by surprise!

I won this at auction unattributed.

Not exactly a cherrypick...more like getting bonked on the head while standing under the treeimage

On the reverse you can also see the clashed impression of Bens upper lip a bit SW of the eagle.

    At least you weren't so thickheaded that you didn't feel the bonk on the head.

    Bugs bunny is a clashed die variety that occurs with Franklins. It makes his teeth look like he needs braces. That pic is too close up to tell what it is though.

    You can see a nice image of bens lip on the reverse, and mucho die polishing in the area.

    Incidentally, I came across a 1959-P with a weak bugs-bunny clash over the weekend... not sure if that date has ever been reported with "BB".

    Nice!

    In addition to the famous '55 Bugs, I've heard of a fair amount of '56s with a similar clash. Never a '51 though. Congrats!!

    Look at Bens upper lip. It looks like he has "buck teeth" like Bugs Bunny.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
