Way too much glare.Also,you need to tell us in words what you are seeing as a possible error.If you are thinking a DDO,I think it is light induced doubling.

Agree with John1, can't see the detail for the "white light".
Also a Doubled Die is a Variety, not an Error.

the devices are tapered, with all the glare, it looks like we are seeing the ridge of the letters and both sides down to the field. A better image with the lighting not from directly overhead will help out greatly.

You are using a dual light source. The glare on both side of the devices is seen on the coin. Thus remove one light source and the issue will go away. On micro images, you need light and shadows to see hub doubling. Too much light is like a spot light and removes the light and shadows. Only a single light source is beneficial for coins. The normal lighting for a scope, it not what you need to get great images. I removed my after the first look on my scope. I found something better that suited my purpose. (Often the second/third try doesn't always fix the issue. But the single source is best for micro images. Also allow the shadows to work for you:

Allow the shadows to show what is going on with the surface of your coins devices. Too much light and glare hides what you are seeing on an image:

Note how the glare hides the Machine Doubling, but inverting the lighting, you can see what you are really look at on your coin. When the image is taken then it looks like the bottom normal image, hiding the Machine Doubling.

Glare doubling. Try using a defused lighting source such as daylight for best results.
