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.
Performing at the Grand Ole Opry
Elvis’ first – and last – appearance at the Grand Ole Opry was on October 2, 1954. At this early stage in his career, his rockabilly music style and unusual dance moves weren’t well known, and were considered vulgar to some.
So at just 19 years old, Elvis took the legendary stage at the Opry and performed his version of “Blue Moon of Kentucky.” The crowd was polite and didn’t “boo” him, but they didn’t dance and scream as Elvis would soon become accustomed to.
Elvis was understandably let down when he left the stage. And it didn’t help when the Opry’s manager reportedly suggested he go back to his day job of driving a truck. Elvis vowed to never play the Opry again, and he never did. But it wasn’t all bad – just two weeks later Elvis would make his debut at the Opry’s greatest competitor – the Louisiana Hayride. He then signed a 52-week contract with the Hayride that would help launch his legendary career.
Years later, when one of Elvis’ friends asked him about the ill-fated Opry show, he grinned and replied, “Guess it all turned out for the best, didn’t it?”
