Experimental data, obtained by a double phase-sensitive test based on a low inductance dc SQUID, show an anomalous nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the Josephson current, clear evidence of a critical current sign change at a temperature T*. At the same temperature, the SQUID undergoes a transition from a 0-SQUID to a pi-SQUID. Results are in good agreement with theoretical models taking into account mid-gap states in low transparency junctions.5 pages, 2 columns, 4 PS or EPS figures, Tex file, minor changes madeSuperconductivityDirect Observation of a Temperature Dependent 0-pi Junction Transition in a Mesoscopic High Critical Temperature Grain Boundary Junctiontext
