Lot Title: Twenty uncirculated 1955 Franklin half-dollars including eight "Bugs Bunny."
Description: The presence of Bugs Bunny coins introduces multiple die varieties, helping to establish this as a "put together" roll. In addition, the edges do not match up, but the coins are certainly all blazing UNCs. Obviously, individual pieces were selected with GEM aspirations, since the average grade is at least MS-64. Twenty coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $300.00
High Estimate: $400.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.
