Full Color Elvis "Drafted Into the Army" Image
Mystic’s colorized Elvis Presley half-dollars are stunning tributes to one of the world's most loved entertainers. The coins feature the world’s highest-quality colorization. Created using a revolutionary technique, this full-color image is a permanent part of the genuine U.S. coin. Yet, you can still see the coin’s three-dimensional image of the original American Eagle design through the colorizing. The result is an outstanding coin that captures an important moment in the life of the King of Rock 'N' Roll.
On December 10, 1957, Elvis received a letter stating he was up for the next military draft. Although everyone expected Elvis to join the Special Services branch of the army, so he could spend his service time making recruiting commercials, he refused any special treatment and was assigned to a tank battalion. After Basic Training, Elvis and the other soldiers in his company were shipped to Germany for the next 18 months of their service obligation.
