David: That is what I felt was the correct answer. Just didn't want to say it. Wanted others to see the image and come to a conclussion.

Coop, thank you for the photo's it helps considerably. It is it possible to have a doubled die presenting thickened letters but no split serifs or do they have to be present?

Yes it is, those would probably be class 6 or 9.
Try the search function on the site and you can see examples of each type. Most wide ones would be class 6 and most biggie class 6 ones also have some other clues such as the vertical spines of letters like the BE of liberty might be curved in like this ) at the center and the E of WE might have a ramp on the bottom of it.
Here's a good example class 6 DDO, (1934 1DO-003) look at the lower part of the E of WE or the curved spines of the letters of liberty:
