# CNS2063 - Elvis Presley "For the Heart" 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.
For the Heart
Elvis recorded his hit “For the Heart” at Graceland in February of 1976. RCA set up mobile equipment in the mansion’s den and recorded several songs during six consecutive all-night sessions.
“For the Heart” spent 11 weeks on the charts and peaked at number 28. The hit tune was written by Dennis Linde. The Texas native drove a truck during the day and played in a band named the Starlighters until he lost his license due to excessive speeding tickets. With nothing left to lose, Linde moved to Nashville in 1969.
In 1972, Elvis had his final number one hit with Linde’s “Burning Love.” Linde was in the spotlight for more than three decades writing witty songs such as “Bubba Shot the Jukebox,” “John Deere Green,” and the Dixie Chick’s “Goodbye, Earl.”
