Lee, The wing is designed such that there is always a portion that is not stalled given the limits of what the elevator can do. It does not seem likely that you could have actually entered a spin. Of course there must be some conditions where this is not true. Maybe if you are flying with a gross weight over that which the Coupe is certified? Maybe if there is damage to the control surfaces or very serious rigging problems? Maybe your up elevator limit is not within specification?
My instructor did everything he could think of to get my Ercoupe to spin and was not successful. I have never heard of anyone and have never read of anyone that was able to spin the Ercoupe. You might get a pilot that has spin experience to try and spin it.
