    Yes, you are seeing double…but not hub doubling.

    Your scope is showing reflection off the tip of the 6 making it seem like it is split or forked. This a very common occurrence with USB microscopes, which is shown you are using by the ring light LEDs in one of your pics.

    To eliminate this effect; turn off the ring light and use a small penlight or flashlight and try again. You can also diffuse the light by bouncing it off a white index card…imo…Spark

    edited to add: btw you have a partial floating roof.

    The floating roof was an attempt to remove something on the reverse. Most likely a clash. Some of them are minor like yours and then some just have the top Portice showing. A true floating roof will be missing the designers initials.

    ANACS?
    Let's see the slab.
    They don't attribute worthless doubling and floating roofs. No third party grader does.

    I like to think that I and the other members are generally nice people. I see what I call "reflective doubling" from microscope use.
    Also, I back up @paddyman98 100% and he is a good person also. whistle.gif

    Not worth the cost to do anything. It’s not the type of doubling you want. Just put in a flip and keep it.
