A FRANKLIN half dollar that looks like Bugs Bunny could be worth thousands of dollars.
TikTok channel Treasuretown explained the 1955 Franklin "Bugs Bunny" half-dollar error coin.
Treasuretown pointed out on the coin's obverse, the Benjamin Franklin bust appears to have protruding, buck teeth, giving him a resemblance to the iconic cartoon rabbit.
This is due to the wing design on the inverse of the coin impressing onto Franklin's mouth area on the obverse.
This error can actually be found on a few different Franklin half dollars, according to Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez at coin appraiser PCGS.
"The Bugs Bunny variety is known on at least a handful of dates in the Franklin Half Dollar series, which ran from 1948 through 1963," said McMorrow-Hernandez.

Yet, the 1955 version remains popular with collectors, with only one other year frequently associated with the error.
"The 1955 and 1956 Franklin Half Dollars are the two issues most commonly attributed to the Bugs Bunny die clash. But of those two, the 1955 Franklin Half Dollar is by far of greater popularity," said McMorrow-Hernandez.
Franklin Bugs Bunny error half dollars often sell for less than $100, but Full Bell Line versions - ones with very clearly struck lines on the Liberty Bell on the reverse - can be worth anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 depending on their condition, according to PCGS.
