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.
Five Star Jamboree
This coin honors Elvis’ performance on Bob Neal’s Five Star Jamboree. The February 1955 show was his first at Ellis Auditorium. In earlier years, while living in the nearby Lauderdale Housing Projects, Elvis attended Gospel All Night Sings at the Ellis Auditorium. Too poor to afford tickets, Elvis was often let in the back door by singer R.W. Blackwood Sr.
The newspaper announcement for the jamboree advertised the show as a “Hit parade of country music” and described Elvis as a “young Memphis star making a swift and spectacular rise... rated as his home city’s third best seller this past week.”
In between the two shows, Elvis’ manager arranged a meeting between Sam Philips (owner of Sun Records) and Colonel Tom Parker, whose booking agency was gaining national fame. Though his manager was excited at Parker’s enthusiasm, Parker argued that Elvis was going nowhere on Philips’ small-time label. However, Parker had already begun making plans to get RCA to buy Elvis’ contract, a deal that was worked out that November.
