Like others have said, the "D" is the mintmark for Denver Mint, meaning that your 1958 cent was minted at the mint. It's very common, and unless your coin is uncirculated, then I'm afraid it's only worth 1 cent. If you exchange for rolls of cents from the banks, you can still find "Wheat pennies"(named after the wheat ears on the coin reverse) from the 50s and even the 40s occasionally.

The 1958-D ( Denver mint) has a mintage of 800,953,,300. It does have one distinction it is the last coin struck at the Denver mint with the wheat reverse. In 1959 they went to the Memorial reverse. It would have to be in a very high mint state grade to be worth much. I can't even find the date listed, as to what a dealer would pay in any grade, high or low. The mintage was real high, for unlike most years, the Denver mint made a lot more than they did in Philadelphia.

Its worth only 1cent. The D stands for Denver, where there is a US mint. There are more scattered throughout the country, so don't be suprised if you see other letters.
If on the back, there are two wheat stalks on the sides, it may be worth a little bit more.

Don't know what it's worth but I do know the D stands for the Denver mint where it was minted.
