Title: Elvis Collectible Coin - Need help finding info please!
Post by: mygrandmasattic on October 22, 2012, 07:45:31 PM

Hey everyone!  Once again I am stumped on another little trinket that has come into our store.  This is an Elvis Presley collector's coin from 1977.  I searched the web and wasn't able to find much information on the value of it other than a worthpoint entry (which is worthless unless you want to go broke with fees).  If anyone scrounges up anything it will most definitely be appreciated.  Thank you!

The only ones I found were $25.00, but none of them are yours.

I appreciate you looking!  Thanks  :D  We have been searching for it online and have come up pretty much dry.

As G,acre, has said...not much value..for commemorative coins....market is saturated with them...take this one for instance...1oz of silver...very little $$..will watch to end..

 Bigwull is correct!!  Very little value here is your coin and the final selling price of $10.50

That silver one Bigwull posted will be closer to $35 when it sells for the silver alone. Once The King died, the market was over saturated to a point that so much Elvis memorabilia is near worthless. It got worse in the 80s when the family leased the rights to his name and image to anyone who had two nickels to rub together.
