I was wanting some thoughts on this coin. It looks to have a die chip in front of his lips also there looks like there are teeth on where his bottom lip is. I was wanting to know if this could be a "Bugs Bunny" Franklin? Thanks!

The "Bugs Bunny" variety is the 1955-P half dollar. It is the result of a die clash. If you look at the reverse rotated 180 degrees, you will note the wing tips of the eagle align with Franklin's lips.

What you have, I'm not entirely sure as there are other problems with the half. In particular, at 9 o'clock on the obverse there is additional bubbles.
