Think I found a Double Die Obverse. Need a second opinion please.

The sites don't mention it. Comparing it with a graded normal coin, makes me think it is a normal one with slight MD:

Extra large image. Only open it on computer screens.

I checked the site as well and I didn't see anything that matches either. But that doesn't mean it's not a new find. Guess I'd have to send it in to Variety Vista to be certain. Thanks for your help!

Take a look at the TRUST area and note that area looks like the normal. (Even the weak 'R' on the lower right side like your coin) You could try making side by sides to see if the devices are same or one is enlarged. That might save you some money. Just crop and size the images exactly the same and then you can see for sure it they are normal or not. I make sure the images are rotated exactly the same, and cut the outside edges of the devices the same. Put them side by side, then see what it shows. That is what I would do.

The reverse is showing what looks to be Machine Doubling on the same 1977 D half dollar. I'll add a photo.

I'm assuming this is Machine Doubling... pretty much the entire reverse of the coin shows this.

And I can't find any information on a 1977 D DDR so I'm assuming it's Machine Doubling.

Thus the chances are very great that the obverse was also affected.
