johnyreb, Welcome to Coin Talk! Although the chance of finding the rare 1958-P "DDO #1" Lincoln Cent is very low, it is always possible that you may have one. However, there are other scenarios that would be considered errors (not Doubled Die doubling) that could possibly result in doubled lettering and other devices on the coin. Therefore, please post some pictures as soon as possible so that we can help you with the attribution of the coin. If you have difficulty getting in-focus pictures, then try taking the pictures with the aid of a Magnifying glass or Gem Loupe. Frank
