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.
Rock ‘n’ Roll’s First Gold Record
This coin honors the day Elvis earned the first gold record for a Rock ‘n’ Roll song. The song was “Hard Headed Woman,” written by Claude DeMetrius. It was featured on the soundtrack for Elvis’ movie King Creole, but was also released as a single with “Don’t Ask Me Why” on the B-side.
Though Elvis was in Germany serving his country in the Army, Colonel Parker released the song to keep him at the top of the charts. It was released on June 10, 1958, and entered the Billboard Top 100 chart at number 15. The song rose quickly to number 3, but never made it higher than number 2, held back by the Sheb Wooley hit, “The Purple People Eater.” However, “Hard Headed Woman” was a bestseller for two weeks, quickly selling more than one million copies.
Earlier that year, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) established its gold certification, with Perry Cuomo earning their first gold record. That August, Elvis earned the third RIAA gold record for “Hard Headed Woman.” It was the first RIAA certification for a Rock ‘n’ Roll song, and the first of many Elvis would receive during his illustrious career.
