The so-called true 1958 doubled die looks very similar to the 1955. No one outside the mint knows exactly why this happened and not many were released from the mint, unless it was done so very quietly. In any event, this is not the coin.


I cannot see anything from these photos. Its important to try and cut down the glare as much as possible. You can drape a piece of sheer cloth over the light, or use some other way to diffuse the brightness. If the camera your shooting the pics with has a MACRO or close up feature, you can turn that on. Its usually indicated by a small flower.
I suggest if you are trying to zoom in, do not go any higher than 2.0x.

If the area your talking about is toward the very tops of In God We Trust, thats simply a metal push to the rim as the strike hits the coin, and it spreads out slightly to fill any gaps to the collar. Also people tend to confuse Machine Doubling which cuts away part of the coins lettering or features, with a doubled die which usually add or thickens an area in question.
