I actually had to look that up.
I see 1977, the year Elvis died. The same with this coin.

 

Good chance it's a capped die.

 

Man I want one of those that ain’t man made

 

I like you. What’s dreck

 

Yikes

 

Uh, no.

 

It looks like it's heavily corroded, regardless of anything else that might have been wrong with it. Can you post a photo of the reverse?

 

I can’t tell from your photos. Can you please post better ones and also the reverse. It could be a mint error or PMD.

 

Great chance at a capped die, but we need those photos of the Reverse, and a better photo of the entire obverse.

 

Here is the obverse and reverse

 

The coloring looks similar to as if the coin was on a really hot surface for awhile disturbing the details.

 

That’s the obverse but where is the reverse?

 

It shows for me. Not sure what to make of it, but I do see it.

 

Someone tell me what it is.

 

In my opinion, it's a capped die. Coingrats! (Keep in mind, this is over the internet, it is much harder to tell, so please do not take my word with 100% certainty, I personally think that it is)

 

It doesn’t look like it was struck through a capped die. Looks more like a damaged obverse to me.

 

This is not an error. The obverse was pummeled into mush outside the Mint.
