You would have to compare your coin to actual specimens of the 1958 DDO and if it does not match, then no go...  Just that the pics are too hard to make out any possible doubling... One can easily find the 1958 DDO online...

Photographing coins can be a pain. Given the images posted, I'm not seeing any indication of a DDO.

Here's the PCGS Coinfacts detail image for the coin. It's another one that can be seen clearly without any magnification. Only 3 are known to exist.

The 1958 DDO has only two or three examples that are known in six decades of searching!; a PCGS MS64RD and a PCGS MS65RD. The discoverer had discovered the two of them, around 1960, in a Mint sewn bag, and he later received correspondence from a Dr. Hunter of the Mint, the latter confirming that the coin he had been sent to authenticate, was genuine. The alleged third piece has never been verified but is believed that not only may it exist, but there is a favorable chance that it may even be a bit more superior to the previously sold MS-65 RD coin. Bold doubling can be seen on IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, and on the date. So its unlikely that doubling or not that this is that particular one as shown by Yokozuna. https://www.PCGS.com/news/1958-doub...ains-elusiveMoving closer but has a possible chance like winning powerball.  Is there a fourth example of a 1958 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent floating around out there? Nobody can honestly claim there isn't
