SEXTUPLED(6X) DIE 'EPU' ???

[Novicetoerr]

Dear ALL,

Attached are photos of SEXTUPLED EPU showing notchings of serifs splits.
Please let us know if genuine DD or MDD. We initially assess as genuine DD because of the notchings and serif separations. But we're not experts.

Please comment.
Thank you.

Hi Novice,

Real quick note. Laquered coins tend to give the deception of doubling so be careful. I haven't looked at the coin close enough but I'll leave that to the experts.

Thanks, Lestrrr, for the initial feedback.


For clarification...
The coin isn't actually lacquered. Have just very lightly and carefully swiped the soiled surface with olive oil to clean, without completely drying/removing when photographed. The very thin layer of oil actually helped enhanced visibilities of the topographies (dips and humps) of the notchings and separations. Prior to swiping, the observed doubling only showed light spreads and notchings (without serifs separations at all) which we initially
assessed as minor DD. But the ehancement revealed what we indicated
as notchings/separation lines of 3 split serifs.

Again, we're not experts and only refer to the genuine DD premises when
extra thickness, notchings-separation lines and split serifs are present.


Thnaks,

I can't seem to determine anything from that picture. If you see three separation/ splits in the serifs then it wouldn't be a 6xdd. I would be very careful about "swiping" the surface, the surface can still be effected and if the coin turns out to really be something highly collectable and valuable diligent collectors will see that it has been cleaned or even wiped sometimes. I'll give it to you, even though many times you see more than meets the eye, you are very determined, keep working at it.

Thank you again as always, 3cnicker.

We'll be careful. We only do the swiping if the coins are soiled.
