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.
Shipping Out for Germany
In January 1958, it was announced that Elvis would be drafted into the Army. Uproar from his fans and a personal appeal from the President delayed his leave, so he could first film King Creole. He was officially drafted March 24 and was assigned to Fort Hood, Texas. After 10 weeks of training, Elvis boarded a train for New York, where Colonel Parker had scheduled a press conference. At the September 22 press conference, Elvis answered questions about his music, army duty, and his mother, who had recently passed away.
With the press conference over, Elvis slung his duffel bag over his shoulder and crossed the gangplank of the USS Randall eight times. This was a courtesy so all the photographers could get a good shot (like the one pictured on this coin).
Aboard the ship, Elvis became fast friends with fellow musician Charlie Hodge. The pair bunked together and were in charge of the ship’s talent show, with Elvis playing piano and Hodge serving as MC. Elvis arrived in Germany on October 1.
