Micheal Jackson Commemorative coin?

A news from Associated Press says, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff signed off on agreements for Jackson-themed items including calendars, school supplies, posters and a Micheal Jackson commemorative coin. Attorneys for the current administrators of Michael Jackson's estate presented the deals for approval Friday morning. Beckloff has scheduled a hearing on Monday to decide whether to approve other deals involving Jackson, including a movie project that would feature the singer's final rehearsals and preparations for a series of comeback concerts in London.

This is a good news for King of Pop fanatic fans. Everyone will be waiting for Jackson Memorabilia to come out soon. Just hope it will not take a very long process for the Micheal Jackson commemorative coin to be a reality. Michael Jackson suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California on June 25, 2009. He was treated by paramedics at the scene, but was pronounced dead at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. The first reports that Jackson had suffered a cardiac arrest, then that he had died, came from TMZ.com, a Los Angeles-based celebrity news website. Doctors at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center pronounced Jackson dead at 2:26 pm, and 18 minutes later at 2:44 pm.

TMZ published:
"Michael Jackson passed away today at the age of 50."

The Los Angeles Times website confirmed the report at 2:51 pm. The news spread quickly online, causing websites to slow down and crash from user overload. Both TMZ and the Los Angeles Times suffered outages. Google initially believed that the input from millions of people searching for "Michael Jackson" meant that the search engine was under attack. Twitter reported a crash, as did Wikipedia. The Wikimedia Foundation reported nearly a million visitors to Jackson's biography within one hour, probably the most visitors in a one-hour period to any article in Wikipedia's history. AOL Instant Messenger collapsed for 40 minutes. AOL called it a "seminal moment in Internet history", adding, "We've never seen anything like it in terms of scope or depth."

Jackson's record sales increased dramatically in the hours and days following his death, eighty-fold according to HMV. Bill Carr, Amazon's vice president for music and video, said the website sold out of all Jackson's CDs, and those of The Jackson 5 within minutes of the news breaking and Jackson's music demand since his death has surpassed those of Elvis Presley and John Lennon after their sudden deaths. In Malaysia, every music store sold their Micheal Jackson CD within one days and no new stock can be found for month.

You can find some seller in ebay selling Micheal jackson coin. My personal opinion that most of this coin is not minted by the US mint (although some says that their coin is original US mint product) and not an official Micheal Jackson Commemorative coin. I try to find any news about US mint Official Micheal Jackson coin but I cannot found anything.Most of the coin designed is not done nicely. Here are some of the coin offered by ebay seller:


Seller love750403, is selling Michael Jackson King of Pop Gold-Plated Memorial Coin. Diameter: 1.6 inch

A seller kiss00007 is selling Gold-Plated Micheal Jackson Copper Coin. Can only found that this is in 24K Gold plated. No others specifications found for this coin.


A seller take5 is selling Micheal Jackson 2009 JFK US Gold Half Dollar coin with Box. He said that this is a Genuine Legal Tender Kennedy Half Dollar struck by the U.S. Mint. Can only found that this is in 24K Gold plated. No others specifications found for this coin.

I will be waiting for the official Micheal Jackson commemorative coin. This coin will be a popular thing for non coin collector. Just imagine what will happened if the coin already in the market before his death. Everyone in this world still love their King of Pop. Rest in Peace Micheal Jackson. Any of you searching for some Micheal Jackson themed or memorabilia items?
