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.
Memphis Benefit – Russwood Park
This coin commemorates Elvis’ performance at the Cynthia Milk Benefit Concert in July 1956. Held at Russwood Park in Memphis, Tennessee, the concert was attended by more than 7,000 fans, many of whom had been waiting since early morning to get spots in the front row. Over 100 performers played that day, but Presley was the reason many had come to the benefit. When Elvis’ car arrived, it was surrounded by adoring fans. Because of the crowds, the car had to leave, then return shortly before he took to the stage. When Elvis appeared in front of his fans, they ran to the stage to get a closer look at him. He asked them to return to their seats so everyone could see the stage. During his performance, Elvis gave away a $600 gold ring with his initials on it in diamonds.
All of the proceeds of the concert, about $13,500, went to the Cynthia Milk Fund (which benefits needy infants and babies) and the Variety Club’s Home for Convalescent Children.
