I have what seems to be a D/D, I can't be sure but it looks like it. it's a 1958 wheat cent and I can't find any info on a D/D variety on a 58. If you can help that would be appreciated. I might be seeing things I want to see. I have provided the link to the image below.

There are 23 RPM's (D/D) that I know of, here is the resource knock yourself out and see if you can find a match.

Oh yeah, it's definitely the RPM-001. Interesting. Does PCGS or NGC recognize this RPM?
The condition of the coin is brown but some toning can still be seen in some parts, small scratches, and no gashes. Is it worth sending it in? I'm leaning towards not. Even so, it's a cool addition to my collection. Thanks for the resources
NGC does, I do not know if PCGS does or not but I suspect they do. From you description it would be a waste of money as you have a coin worth a dollar and you want to spend $30+ on plastic, your call but not something I would bother with.

Thanks for the advice. I'm searching through my collection because I haven't really gotten into Variety's or Errors before. So it's exciting to find one for the first time. Thanks again.

pcgs certifies ANY coin with an FS #. i've never heard any different.
any other ddo/ddr/rpm/rpd etc without an FS # gets the "minor variety" designation or nothing at all.
@DirectorKrennic.... Welcome aboard. Cheers, RickO
Is there any real market for this variety? How much will it actually bring? How much would it cost to slab it? These are questions you need to answer before sending anything like this in for slabbing.
Most RPM's have very little numismatist value, I think good ones are worth keeping, but I wouldn't go so far as to get them graded.
Here is my 55-D RPM, it might be worth a couple of bucks even in this condition, but it goes good with my 55 DDO.
