Where? What link or reference?

Gavenadam1

Thank both of you guys!!!

I don't intend to sound mean, but what leads you to believe that this is a DDO, DDR, MS, or red? It looks to me what you've found is a regular brown AU 1958 wheat cent.

Gavenadam1

Oh, I was using the grading app for apple from PCGS. It’s the one that is super dd

Gavenadam1

Didn’t sound mean at all.... I’m here learning..

This is a 1958 DDO, from the Variety Vista link provided by hemispherical above. Also what the color a RED BU should look like.
And yes, they are extremely rare, only a handful(not even) out there.

The real DDO has very clear doubling on the left side of the coin that is not present on the OP's coin.

You can't miss the real one

Gavenadam1

Yes, she has many and I’m looking for one I can see with the naked eye. That is an interesting coin error

It's hard to tell if the OP coin is DD or not. I would suggest he submit this coin to our host to be sure.

I'm confident that you know better. And regardless of your reason for posting that, someone else who doesn't know better could get the wrong impression.
