# CNS16048 - Elvis Presley "I'm Yours" US Half Dollar Commemorative Coin
Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. He is credited with 54 certified gold singles – more than any other recording artist ever! This coin highlights one of those songs that sold at least 500,000 copies.
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.
I’m Yours
Elvis recorded “I’m Yours” on June 5, 1961, at RCA’s studios in Nashville, Tennessee. It was released as part of his Pot Luck with Elvis album a year later. The song was written by Don Robertson and Hal Blair. Each of the talented writers penned songs that Elvis recorded – a total of 12, including “I Was The One,” “I Really Don’t Want to Know,” “I’m Counting On You,” “Anything That’s Part of You,” and “There’s Always Me.” Although most visitors aren’t aware of the fact, one of Robertson’s most famous works is “Pianjo,” the opening song at Walt Disney World’s Country Bear Jamboree.
“I’m Yours” was featured in Tickle Me (1965), the only film for which Elvis didn’t record a new soundtrack. Every song in the movie had been recorded between 1960 and 1963, and each had already been released on albums or as singles. Under a special agreement with Allied Artists, which was facing bankruptcy, Elvis took a pay cut for his work on the film. Writers Elwood Ullman and Edward Bernds had worked previously with the Three Stooges, and the script for Tickle Me featured slapstick comedy scenes that gave audiences a rare chance to see Elvis’ talent for comedy. The film was a box office success, and many credit Elvis with saving Allied Artists. Presley also won a 1966 Golden Laurel Award for best male actor in a musical film for his role as Lonnie Beale, a champion rodeo rider.
When “I’m Yours” was released as a single, it reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. In addition, it became Elvis’ third consecutive number one single on the Easy Listening chart.
