Sorry but that is not the1958 DD-001 listed on Variety Vista.  
There is distinct North South Doubling that does not show on your cent.
There may be some MD but hard to tell from photo.

   Welcome to the NGC chat board.

   Your photos are too blurry to see whether your 1958 Lincoln cent exhibits any form of doubling, but it is definitely not the extremely rare 1958 doubled die (FS-001 or DDO-001) listed in the "Redbook" and other references, of which only three are known to exist and which exhibits clear, crisp doubling on "LIBERTY" and the motto as shown in these images from the NGC Coin Explorer:

  NGC only recognizes this rare variety in its VarietyPlus listing and does not list any other 1958 cent varieties.  See Lincoln Cents, Wheat Reverse (1909-1958) | VarietyPlus® | NGC (ngccoin.com).  NGC generally only attributes varieties that are listed in VarietyPlus.  Based on the photos, your coin would grade no higher than MS 64 RD or MS 65 RD and would be worth substantially less than what it would cost you to submit it for grading at NGC or any other reputable grading service. In answer to your question on your duplicate post, no, you should not submit this coin to a grading service unless you want to waste your money.
