Nice coin. Late 50s wheat cents were squirreled away by collectors in great numbers back in the day. Consequently, there's a vast supply of mint state coins out there. When it comes to value, a '58 D Wheat cent in the MS60-64 grade range could run somewhere around 25 to 75 cents--perhaps a bit more to a collector who's uber-crazy about them. Given the photos posted, It's difficult to determine if anything is greater than MS62. Be sure to check for die cracks, die chips, etc. Edited by ijn1944

I'd say 50 cents is about right.

The posted coin is around MS-63/64. That's pretty typical. Like 1944 said, these are not particularly valuable. They were stashed away by the millions since it was the last year for wheat cents. The best thing you can do is find the highest grade one you have and post it here. If you send one to PCGS and it gets into an MS-67 slab it could be worth a couple hundred bucks. https://www.PCGS.com/prices/detail/.../most-activeLincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

That's a pretty 1958-D. I paid $12 for one that looked not as good in a pic. I couldn't believe my eyes when I received it!
Like others have said, they're common and not worth a lot. Although most any Lincoln in the top 2 or even 3 grading points of its date/mm are going to bring good money.
If you invest the money to certify your 1958-D and you get a MS65 grade, your coin is realistically sellable at $16.
If you get a grade of MS66 you could list it for $26.
Personally, I think you have an MS64+/MS65, but if you can get an MS67 example the realistic listing price is about $400. ($6000 if you can find one that's MS67+)
Those prices all come from the PCGS Price Guide for a 1958-D RED.
I have a 1958-D that's so pretty ... I listed it for $250, but when I started getting watchers and I got close to my next grading submission - I chickened out and pulled the listing. I will always regret selling it for only $250. I HAVE to get it graded and encapsulated.
Better pics help.

Btw, maybe I'm out of line here, but if you are looking for an exceptional 1958-D I'll be happy to hang my beauty out here for the forum.
I don't know the rules and etiquette for this forum yet. I question everything, like, how do they get deer to cross at those signs? Stuff like that.
;))
