Can this be call Bugs Bunny? Thanks.

No, that's Benji... Do you need glasses.

Looks more like a hairlip to me.

No, it appears to be nothing more than a "tick" from probably another coin and is not a "die clash" that creates the Bugs Bunny tooth effect.

Im not an expert , but im pretty sure the Bugs Bunny variety Franklin was isolated to 1955 , i was fortunate enough to get a fairly decent example , heres mine cropped as the forum only allows 50k.

I believe there are several other years that have the BB effect, a member named Bushmaster will hopefully chime in, he knows Franklins.

There are many other years with the BB variety. 1956, 1954, 1952.... and some others I believe.

Doesn't qualify as a Bugs. Interesting though. Seen that lip bump on many 1959's but that may be the most pronounced I've seen. Not sure what caused it. Doesn't look like a clash. Maybe a die chip?

My guess is a die chip.

This is 100% wrong
There are other years that had the bugs

JamesMurray

Yes...quite , i did in fact read the reply immediately after mine which cleared that up..er..yesterday.

PawPaul

If , as is generally accepted as the cause , die clashing is responsible for the Bugs Bunny effect -

then I see no reason as to why the clashing could not take place on any Franklin date from 1948 thru 1963

JamesMurray

In theory that sounds right , however the mint would have caught on to it quick and eradicated the problem..no ?From what i understand 1955 is the year the Bugs Bunny Franklin is acknowledged , as an experiment i typed Franklin bugs bunny into google and every single link took me to a 1955 P half.
Hopefully an expert will clear this up as ive a few things to do in this gorgous sunshine , perhaps a member can post a pic of a bugs bunny franklin that isnt 1955 P ?

Here are a few I recently made.

o.k - i can admit my ignorance on these Bunnies -

what year , 56 or 55 , is the most common with the clash ?

TwoSides2aCoin

It's a "pop one". A big juicy one.

tacynnep

Thank you for all the opinions. I guess it is not a "Bunny" it is Benjamin.

JamesMurray

Thanks for the pics guys , thats cleared that up.
