This is my first post but I have been using coin community for a while as a reference guide and I just wanted to thank all of you for the feedback and expertise you provide so that someone like me can learn more about the minting and error process.
I was looking through a roll of 1962 Frankling half dollars and I think I may have found what I believe to be a doubled die of the E Pluribus Unum. There are about 12 coins from the roll that I think have this but some are weaker and some are stronger. I have been having a hard time taking pictures so I added a couple digital microscope pictures to hopefully make it easier. I have not been able to find any information on this variety if indeed it is a doubled die. Any information, opinions, or comments at all would be greatly appreciated! If you would like more or better pictures, let me know and I will do what I can. Thank you all in advance!

That picture of the EPU sure looks good.

Thanks for looking! I've been trying hard to take decent pic's without buying an expensive camera. Here are a few more that I tried to take with a magnifier. They are a little shaky but I think they show some better detail than the other pictures.

I don't see any doubling. FWIW, it looks like a proof strike.

I see what you are talking about. Some of those letters in EPU are interesting. Also interesting is the lack of a response! I THINK there is just enough of a question to keep most people from answering. It would take a better photo for me to make a firm decision.

i dont see any 62 DDR listed at CONECA or Franklin Lovers.
it could possibly be a DDR but you will have to send it in for attribution/examination.

Good luck, but I don't think it is a DDR
