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.
Joining the Fight Against Cancer
This coin pictures Elvis promoting the American Cancer Society. It features a photo of Elvis taken prior to one of his Ed Sullivan Show appearances in New York City. He’d arrived several hours early that day to take several promotional photos for the American Cancer Society. He was also inoculated with the polio vaccine and delivered a public service announcement on the issue.
Over the course of his career, Elvis lent his time, name, and money to numerous causes. After returning home from the Army in 1960, Elvis began a holiday tradition of donating funds to Memphis charities. In 1962 alone, he gave $52,000 to the city’s charities. The following year, he donated another $55,000 that was distributed among 58 different local charities. By 1966, he was giving over $100,000 a year to the local charities. Then in 1967, he donated $10,500 to the Memphis Jewish Community Center Building Fund, along with many gifts to others.
For all his charitable giving, Elvis was recognized by both the city of Memphis and state of Tennessee. They proclaimed October 29, 1967, to be “Elvis Presley Day.”
Elvis also did several charity shows over the years. His first was in 1956, which benefited the Cynthia Milk Fund and the Variety Club’s Home for Convalescent Children. The following year, he put on a concert that raised over $14,000 to help fund the building of a youth center in Tupelo. After returning from the Army, he did just three stage shows before returning to Hollywood. All three were benefits.
