I bought a bunch of coins last week for silver value basically. Got about $30 face for ~16% over spot which I'm pleased with in this environment. Was expecting junk silver but got coins that were much nicer. Got 1943, 1944 and 1952 Quarters that are BU, 50 Merc's in average condition but the real kicker is that I got 21 BU'ish Franklins, including a very nice 1955. Ironically it's actually the 3rd 1955 Franklin I've picked up in the last two weeks. I know virtually nothing about varieties and such but it looks like a Bugs Bunny variety to me. Attached are close ups on the mouth, pics of the obverse and reverse and a bad picture of the Franklin stacks. any opinions on the variety are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. The price listed on the 2x2 is what I figure I paid for that individual coin out of the lot.

That's it. Nice pick up!
 

Enamel, Avago - thanks for the replies. I thought it might be and then I got the microscope out and it pops out quite a bit more. I need to find my cherry picker a guide to search the other nice Franklins.

Thanks.
 

All I can say is "Winner...winner...chicken dinner!!" Congrats on a nice and often pricey find!

Thanks Frank. I'm guessing it's worth maybe $25 or so. Really pleased with it.
