Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. As a real Elvis fan, you love capturing your favorite historic moments from the life of the original American idol. This coin preserves one of your favorite Elvis memories
Mystic has permanently bonded a vibrant image of Elvis to this uncirculated US Half Dollar. The coin features an original photograph of Presley from his estate’s official archives and is officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Made Honorary Colonel
This coin captures Elvis on the day he addressed the Tennessee State Legislature to accept the honorary title of Colonel. Weeks before, that state’s governor and the city’s mayor declared February 25, 1961 to be Elvis Presley Day. They hosted a special luncheon at the Hotel Claridge where RCA gave Elvis a diamond-studded watch in recognition of selling more than 75 million records. It was at this time that Governor Buford Ellington announced Elvis would be made an honorary colonel, with the title, “Colonel, Aide de Camp on the Governor’s Staff.” Elvis performed two charity shows that day to more than 10,000 fans, raising $51,612 to be given to 26 charities.
Elvis officially accepted his new title on March 8, 1961, in an address to the Tennessee State Legislature. He received a badge and certificate recognizing all the contributions he’d made to the state.
