Is this a 1956 Bugs Bunny

laxmaster92 · December 9, 2007 4:53AM

After buying a 1955 Bugs Bunny, I decided to look for a 1956, becuase everyone on here said they are rarer.
I pretty sure this a Bugs Bunny. There is a pointed crack at the mouth. But its not as strong as a 1955.
So is it?
Also, how much do these go for?

thanks

Looks like one to me.

It looks like it to me as well. I have one and it looks like yours.
As to the value, I don't have a clue. Maybe someone will
come along and let us know

It may be... but I cannot see it... certainly not as obvious as the other. Cheers, RickO

Not nearly as obvious as the 55. But there definatly is a "tooth"

PawPaul · December 9, 2007 5:26AM

not strong enough to get the designation @ PCGS

The 56 bugs is known to be very light compared to the 55.

even though its blatently there.
This coin would probably grade high MS

Looks like a BB. They are not rare, or even scarce, or even hard to find, but they
are a popular variety, so they do carry a small premium. I'm not sure
exactly how much.

oh, I thought the other dates beside teh 55, were rarer to find?

guess im wrong

coinsarefun · December 9, 2007 11:57AM

I think the 54 is among the rarest. But I may be wrong.
I have that one also. Check www.cheapslbs.com and do a search.
also do a search on this forum for bugs bunny,
When I get home I will check and let you know

I was surprised at the prices posted on cheapslabs.com as well. I recently submitted my 56 to another grading co. because I wanted the designation attributed on the holder. I was not even aware that PCGS would attribute a 56 bugs.
It seems they are rare-ish, certainly rarer than the 55 but the interest in the variety is low. Mine graded MS64, I agree with the grade and am just happy to have it as an unusual part of my Franklin set.

Whats up Doc........found a couple of these in a BU roll a while back...........nice find

It may just turn out that these are not as rare as previously thought... If word gets out and more people start looking closely.
It sure seems quite a few have shown up just since the recent discussions about them here. If you search completed listings on ebay, there is no mention of a 56 being sold. ( At least there wasn't 3-4 months ago when I searched for the variety.)
