I wouldn't get too excited. It's a transfer stuck onto a coin. I cannot believe that people collect such tat, mind you people have bought Elvis soap and edible knickers in the past so why should I still be surprised. Still if it makes you throb then buy the complete set, and I bet there's a box.

Many of the people who buy items like this avoid buying things such as the recent number one singles, citing reasons like they already have the songs in their collection. They also do not buy the FTD CD's for pretty much the same reason. I constantly hear "it's the same songs over and over again" with regard to the live and out-takes CD's. Sad, but true.

I don`t think this coin really qualifies as `tat`, it`s quite a nice thing to have. I wouldn`t go out of my way to buy it, but there are far more things which qualify as tat, such as the examples from SendToTodd. Regarding same songs `over and over again` i can`t see how people can possibly expect `new` ones?! I never bore of hearing the same songs as you never know what `style` Elvis will sing them at the time, there`s always something even slightly different. TCB

I would love to have the coin. Where CAN you get one? As to the songs (over and over again), Elvis recorded so many of them that you can listen all day and all night and not get that tired of them. I only have the RCA/BMG ones because I just found out how to get the overseas ones - I think. Haven't gotten any yet because I'm still getting the kinks worked out.
