2018 Tuvalu 1/2-oz Silver Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny PF70UCAM

Return to Your Childhood with One of Your Favorite Cartoon Characters

Cartoon characters come and go, but a handful endure from one generation to the next, sparking smiles among collectors of all ages. One of those rare characters who is instantly recognizable to anyone who was ever a fan of cartoons is the joyful Bugs Bunny. From munching on carrots to frustrating Elmer Fudd with, among other things, his iconic catchphrase, "What's up, Doc?" the character has entertained children for generations. Now, Bugs Bunny features on the first coin in a series of five coins that celebrate Looney Tunes characters. The design shows him casting his smile toward the holder, just as he has done toward TV viewers for years.

• FOUR NINE FINE WITH "P" MINT MARK -- Each 2018 Tuvalu Bugs Bunny proof was struck from a half ounce of 99.99% fine silver at the Perth Mint and features that mint's "P" mint mark, which is recognized as a symbol of quality throughout the world.

• A FAMILIAR CARTOON DESIGN -- Bugs Bunny leans back having his favorite snack on the coin's reverse. His big, open mouthed smile and long ears are sure to induce nostalgia for those who grew up watching his cartoons. 

• EXQUISITE PROOF FINISH -- This Bugs Bunny coin has a beautiful proof finish that enhances both faces. It also helps to draw attention to the colorized cartoon character.

• TUVALU LEGAL TENDER -- Each 2018 half ounce Silver Bugs Bunny Proof is fifty cents legal tender in the island nation of Tuvalu. Tuvalu is about halfway between Hawaii and Australia and is known for its beautiful beaches and the abundant sea life in its reef.

• CERTIFIED FLAWLESS -- Your coin will be certified Proof-70 (PF70) by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections -- showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended!

• A LIMITED MINTAGE – Just 5,000 pieces were issued.

Coin collectors all have their favorite reasons for choosing the pieces they do – artistry, patriotism, history, culture, etc. - but this piece, as well as the rest of the Looney Tunes collection, simply offers something that few other coins can match: joy. One look at Bugs Bunny and many adults instantly feel that same sense of happiness and innocence that they had when they watched him as children. What better way to escape, if only momentarily, from the trials and frustrations of daily life than taking a look at something that reminds you of a time when you didn't have to worry about any of them? With a low mintage of just 5,000 pieces, though, this coin will not be available for long, so place your order at GovMint.com today!
