Just found a 1955 DDO PR Franklin in my collection.

Looking thru my coins, I went to look at my 1955 PCGS PR65 Franklin Half and noticed some lint fibers that were struck thru on the reverse under and above EPU. Then I noticed some slight doubling on the EPU lettering. I flipped it over to see if there were any doubling on the obverse and I spotted the inside curve of the 9 was distinctly separated. I looked at the rest of the date and the same. I looked on the rest of the Obv and the Liberty was doubled, but not like the date. The letters were heavier and you can see a line in the center of the letter where there is doubling but not on the outline of the letter. The Liberty doubling reminds me of the doubling you see on 1971 S Proof and UNC Silver Ike Dollars. There is some doubling in IGWT with distinct separation on the corners of IN.
Here are the listed DD on Coneca.
Does anyone know of a Franklin half site where they may have a picture of any of these errors where I can compare my coin to?
This may be a minor DD, but still a cool find.
