    Yes there are both proof and unc versions

    don't have photos but in the proof the bunny is frosted and the background is mirrored

    and the unc is the other way round - the bunny is shiny and the background is frosted

    this is pretty much the same for all proof/unc versions of lunars, kooks etc.

    If you dont have both OR you have never seen the bullion version please do not post the above generic response..

    Looking for someone holding a BULLION version to clarify it exists..

    Generic response explaining the difference between Proof (mirror background with frosted rabbit) and Bullion i(frosted background mirror rabbit) is not helpful for the purposes of this thread... (although i see it was close to the OP's ~ Q)

    You guys have identified the difference correctly..

    Bullion? Not a real coin image.. although it looks to have less of a mirror background and less frosted rabbit.. would love to see an actual coin image to confirm but..

    Proof right?

    Proof

    The 1oz Bullion - this is OBVIOUSLY BULLION - looking for a 1/2 ounce Rabbit that looks like this for closure.

    Another Obvious 1oz Bullion Rabbit..

    Its possible no-one has loaded a half ounce rabbit picture on the internet.. this is where my mind is at. Clear as mud... looking at the evidence is more rare than the proof and its scarcer than hare's teeth. :)
