Let's say it is the "one" ,then yes it should be sent to PCGS. That being said,IMHO,it is not "the" big DDO.

Even if slabbed I doubt anyone would offer much for it in the condition that its in. If getting it slabbed is worth it to you do it, just realize it will come back Details and probably no higher than a G grade. Personally I doubt its worth more than a cent. I see no solid doubling as in the REAL 1958. The doubling is visible naked eye, this coin has nothing like that.

If this were the famous 1958 DDO-001, it would be visible even in these pictures. Not it.

with Sam. THIS isn't the 1958 DDO-001.

Don't waste your money having it graded as it would only be a disappointment in the end, sorry. Your best bet is to find a gullible newbie on ebay and over hype it like so many ebay sellers do. It pains me to point it out, but that's the reality of it. If it was me and I was certain THIS is the one, I'd keep it and keep lying to myself about my great find.

I will upload some more pics of the coin for anyone who is interested, but it is pretty much impossible to see the details because of the damage. When you have the coin in your hand it is much easier to see what I am talking about. The motto is covered in some kind of black stuff so you can only see the doubled lettering when its held at the right angle because half of the letter is covered up.

Still don't see it, but if you believe its there, you should get it slabbed. Look the chance of you winning the coin lottery is pretty low (well almost nil), but if you feel that strongly get it slabbed.

There is a 0% chance it is the DDO, but if the only way you can learn to take our advice is to squander $50, go ahead.

If anything, maybe DDD. Not worth sending it in since DDD is worthless doubling. As mentioned above, if you don't believe us, please send it in for a professional's opinion.

Even if it was the big one. What would someone pay for it and why? (If) you send it in and they agree with you (please) let us know. Then I'll check (every) coin I touch.

Because the real one is VERY rare in any condition.

Btw I went back and checked all your posts, you found a 3 and 1/2 legged bison nickel, another DDO and a few rare coins. Me thinks you are seeing things that aren't there.

Thanks for the extra effort in getting extra images posted.
Because of the circulation damage, the only way this coin would have more value than 1c is if were the "big" DDO.

Sorry, but it isn't the "Big" DDO.

As others have said the doubling would be very visible and not "hidden" by circulation.

Keep up the search.

Been outdoors for a long time and someone cleaned the coin and the surface flaked off the coin. Just a Wheat cent now.
