this one is a 1958D, I believe it is 1MM-042, as described by coppercoins website. this time AL of the die markers are present, although in two of the die marker photos, the markers are present on my coin, only just barely visible. I don't know if that might imply my coin is somewhat earlier in the life span of the die. the first image is a digital camera photo. the second is a photos through a microscope, and the last two are scans. any assistance in grading, would be appreciated, as to help in marking the 2x2 holder. thanks.

Can you get an image of the mint mark with the date showing? That would help with Identification of location of the mint mark. If markers are weaker (The ones in the fields) then it would denote a later die state than earlier. The die scratches on the fields flatten and fade with continued use of the dies. If they are crisp, they were added recently and just a few coins were struck that your coin came from. Which markers match?

It could be another die number, but more images would help. Spread. Location then lastly markers. Distinctive markers are best as some may come and go with continued use of the dies. But more images might help.
