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.
Blue Moon
Elvis recorded “Blue Moon” for Sun Records in 1954. The song was written by Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart in 1934. It had been successful for previous singers, including Mel Torme. The song appeared in a number of MGM movies, including Elvis’s version in the 1964 film Viva Las Vegas.
“Blue Moon,” along with the flip side, “That’s All Right” [Mama], was first played by DJ Dewey Phillips on his “Red, Hot, and Blue” radio program on July 10th. The response from the public was overwhelming – demanding he play the record 14 times.
Realizing he’d discovered something phenomenal, the DJ frantically telephoned until he found Elvis at a local movie theater. Phillips had Elvis come right to the radio station to do a live interview. Two days later, Elvis signed his first contract with Scotty Moore.
