Yesterday & today, tried getting an order through to the U.S. Mint. Four different credit card failures both days. Used one at P.O. and no...
Neutral location= a bank conference room or local, friendly police station. IMHO. In any case, take Books advice.
These and the 1977D are also known for having their mint marks in all sorts of directions.
A good strike in this area will be a nice, clean, defined separation of thumb and first finger. The WDDR-031 shows a type of web if you will but...
LOL, paddyman is just doing his jive dance, he's kidding.
Ground down with a Dremel tool or something similar. Damaged as Ty says.
I forgot to say welcome to Coin Talk! A site that could help you out a lot on errors and how they are created and what are not errors would be...
Yes, it's a keeper for sure. Does not hold a lot of value but is an interesting, genuine error nonetheless.
Grease or other foreign matter got into the die and prevented a full strike of all the lettering on the reverse. On the obverse, this misalignment...

What you have is a grease/debris filled die error and a nice one from the looks of it.
Excellent find and would be slabbed if mine. You should get in touch with Bob at the site link posted above. If not yet attributed he could do...
Looks like it took a hit by your enlarged photo. Notice the metal has been shoved up into the crook under the thumb. Can't tell much with the end...
Have you checked Wexler's site for a match? I'm not as familiar with the D's as I am with the P's. (doubled die)
Agreed with Mike and Tyler's post is a good read on this subject.
Erol, it means you are putting way too much thought into what I thought was a very simple subject. It does not have to be so complicated....
I think the only one whoever benefitted by this was Richard Pryor in the Superman movie.:D
You have a die crack on the left wing and possibly another at the lettering "UN". Very common to find on the 80's through 90's. Collectible but...
Looks like a hit to the lower right takes it out of the running as it appears to affect another step.
Talking full step coins is a whole different animal than the original low mintage coins.
Separate names with a comma.
