The 1955 Franklin half dollar in PCGS MS-65 FS-401, known as the “Bugs Bunny” variety, is a distinctive and widely collected issue within the series. Its nickname derives from a die clash that leaves a protruding line at Franklin’s mouth, resembling buck teeth. PCGS has graded 325 examples of the FS-401 variety at MS65, with just 28 finer, underscoring its relative scarcity at this level.

This variety has long attracted attention not only for its visual quirk but also for the insight it provides into mid-20th century Mint production. Die clashes such as this were typically corrected, making surviving examples especially desirable to specialists in Franklin halves and die varieties.

The present coin displays attractive, original toning on both sides, enhancing its visual character without obscuring detail. The combination of strong preservation, recognized variety status, and appealing surfaces makes it a compelling representative of the popular “Bugs Bunny” subtype.
