What you are referring to by EPU is a plating blister. These have plagued the copper plated zinc cents including proof issues. Here's a link:...
Nice collection
The only thing I'm seeing in the photo is a plating disturbance around the I. Copper plated zinc cents are notorious for having plating issues...
1989 was the last year the mint marks were punched into the dies by hand. There is no way to tell exactly what's going on from these pics, but...
