Official MJ Commemorative Coins Released
Bravado, the world's leading global music merchandising company, has partnered with The First Commemorative Mint, Inc. to be the exclusive worldwide manufacturer of the ONLY official coins and coin collections available featuring the images of entertainment icon Michael Jackson. The commemorative coins and collections are being produced and approved under a license from the Estate of Michael Jackson. The announcement was made today by Tom Bennett, Chief Executive Officer of Bravado, and Bernie Neumark, President and CEO of the First Commemorative Mint.
Michael Jackson fans can now enjoy his likeness on high-quality mint condition, previously uncirculated United States coins. The coins and collection features a variety of iconic Michael Jackson images on state coins and on special coins, such as the Silver Eagle Dollar coin. For example, the Michael Jackson 5 Decades Coin Collection features an image of Jackson from the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's and 2000's professionally colored onto various state quarters and showcased in a custom designed case.
"The value of the Michael Jackson coins lie in their unique status as both official collectibles and legal tender issues," stated Mr. Neumark. "This has never been possible before so we are excited about the opportunity. Each new coin will be a coveted first edition, so there will be tremendous demand from both coin collectors as well as Michael Jackson fans. Most coins will be produced in limited editions which will add to their scarcity and historic importance."
The Michael Jackson Commemorative Coin Collection is now available through Home Shopping Network's (HSN) television network and online website, www.hsn.com, and through retailers worldwide.
