Default Double Die 1961 Franklin Half

Has anyone here found a DD Franklin half in the 1961 proof set. I believe I did today. I bought a collection of proof sets today from 1955-1964, and mint sets from 1965-1975 from an estate sale. I was looking over the coins, especially the franklins for possible grading and the E PLURIBUS UNUM on the 1961 looks just like the book pics and the 2 examples I found on E-bay. I'm getting it to a coin shop this weekend to verify. I can't make my camera get a close enough shot to post, but I'll keep trying.

My references do not list a double die for the 61 Proof ,, just for the 61-D .
