It's a counterfeit - note the missing detail in the lower right leaf on the Reverse. I have the 1857 version of this fake (I collect them as I come across them). Although I don't think I've seen this fake as an 1858 before, always 1857.
The obverse dentils are also incorrect.

Just to help in the future, take a look at how fuzzy the details are around the edges and note the micro pitting on the surface. These are dead giveaways. Google some slabbed ones and compare the images side by side, and the lack of details and crisp edges becomes apparent.

Looks like a sand casting...

It kind of does, but I doubt it was sand casted, there is generally more of a darker tint to the metal afterwards.

Odd that a counterfeiter would make a Doubled dated coin.
