I've tried it all John.. I believe my phone just isn't high enough resolution. Either I need too much light which distorts the doubling or too filtered light and the phone wont focus. Ive used 3,5,10,20 and 30x magnifiers with a still set up and still cant get good photos. Just sent the one microscope back and ordered a much better one with a better camera.

Picture's aren't good enough to evaluate your coin.
Errers and Varietys.

It is an older phone.. its almost as if the phone wont focus on it since the devices are so small or because the doubling looks blurry to the phone. It will not focus with a 5 or 10 times loupe either. This photo here I have the light down where youd think I could get a good snap but too far to where you can hardly see the split serifs.  |

It is a Moto G Power.. they have issues with colors blending. Ive tried macro mode, pro mode and even portrait. I can get photos of one letter or number somewhat decent but it would take 50 photos to show the coin. Will have a better camera setup in the coming days. I have at least a few of these ive found so far but I'm still going through the first roll I decided to crack open. A couple all red and a couple 90-10ish

I think the camera cant distinguish two different colors in thag close of proximity to eachother if that makes sense

Before I even look at the pics I'm pulling for you that would be an awesome score!

There's definitely something going here but the pictures are not great. You can try holding the coin and experiment tilting and angling it different distances from the light source till you get a good one.

Photos aren't very good, but I can say it definitely isn't the big one, and the big one is the only doubled die for 58 that isn't pretty much trivial.

Ive tried tilting, twisting you name it.. the colors are too close together so the phone puts them together as one image. Certain angles some letters will show the doubling but they all have it. Here is a photo of another coin same roll where I believe you can clearly see the splits on Liberty. I know I shouldn't confuse with separate coins but I just wanted to share it. Trying different color coins so I can hopefully get a decent shot. Its a bit frustrating.  |

The big one is the only one to hunt for isn't it?

Here is with a loupe and monkeying with the phone settings. It still wants to blend the colors into one serif but you can slightly see the raised bottom of the R and the loop above the R and the EE  |
