    Can't quite tell from your pictures. Can you get any closer? Maybe an over mintmark or Repunched mintmark. Very nice looking 58 D's though!

    They look like normal uncirculated cents.

    I looked at the known RPM's at Variety Vista without any close match. Based on the data here, I could see these as a die crack/break which occurred at the serif of the D, a not-unlikely place for one to begin. Perhaps something struck and gouged the die. You could envision getting a few of them from an original roll (or even an entire roll of them), because the die could strike hundreds or thousands after the break occurred.

    Now I have to call it a die gouge.

    Well considering the average die life, and the number of cents struck in Denver that year, and the fact that gouge would only be on a single die, if you had an evenly mixed random bag of mixed 1958 D cents, you could expect to find five of them.

    I would probably call it a die chip.
    Maybe happened during a die polishing.
    Nice LDS.
