# CNS1042 - Elvis Presley "Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award" US Half Dollar Commemorative Coin
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.
Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award
This coin honors Elvis’ receipt of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) Lifetime Achievement Award. Over the course of his career, Elvis received 14 Grammy nominations, winning three awards. In 1971, the NARAS honored Elvis with the Lifetime Achievement Award, also known as the Bing Crosby Award, after its first recipient.
It may seem odd that over the course of his distinguished career, Elvis only won three Grammys. The Grammys didn’t start until 1958. And it was during 1956 and 1957 that Elvis reshaped the American music scene. Then, the year the Grammys began, Elvis was in Germany and didn’t receive any nominations. But then in 1959, he received his first three nominations. Finally, in 1967, he received his first Grammy, for the Gospel album, “How Great Thou Art.”
