I think I see possible Machine Doubling on the EPU. Although, I can't tell for sure.

Type 1 REV with interesting MD (judging by the reduced size of the E and D's doubled areas) in UNITED.

What date is it?

Any chance of a closer pic of the E.P.U.?

No, the coin is not mine so I cannot get another pic. It is a 58-p. I found it while I was trolling around trying to cherrypick 58 type 2 reverse coins. The way it is angled made it look like a dd. I am not aware of a known 1958 DDR, but ya never know.

I had already zoomed in on the picture, but the low resolution blurs out the important details for me, at least, to make decent opinion. I think something like that would be interesting to own even if would turn out to be MD.

There's a few nice DDRs on the 1961 proof half dollar.

The only problem with it being the 1961 is that 1961 pieces were made only in type II REV (1956-1963). The one in the OP's pic is a Type I. I think, as you stated Coop, the '61 is the most doubled, but they were not made in Type I.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

Good point. When I saw the EPU, these came to mind.
