1958 Penny.....is this the big one?

Hi folks,
I just came across this beautiful 1958 penny. It seems to be doubled at the date, part of liberty, and also in the motto. Is this the really pricey 1958 variety? Please see pics below, and thanks !!

Your photos are overexposed and blurry.

Unfortunately, it is machine doubled and not a doubled die.

 

nope

 

I can't even tell with those pics.

 

I can tell you even with those pics that, no, it's not the big one.

 

it doesn't look doubled, but I would suggest a few adjustments to your photography to make it easier for us in the future.

 

Thanks team.
Yes, the droid razr max hd is TORRID (8 mp). Moving to the Samsung S5 soon (16 Mp)

 

I do not think the problem was with your resolution. With a close up, usually a flash is worse than no flash, try to get closer to a stronger light. Focus is critical, a 28Mp photo out of focus is as bad as a 8 mp photo out of focus. Small movements of your hand as you click the photo moves the focus at the worse time. Maybe find an app with delayed shutter release or a tripod/support. Most phone cameras have adjustment for white balance, read the manual to see what changes you can make, or find some photo apps. For the size of photos on the forum,8 mp is good.
