About his purchase Dr. Jim McCarthy said "He had nice teeth, from a dentist's point of view, I find it interesting."

This crown has a long story even from the beginning of its existence. Henry Weiss was the Presley family dentist., and he lived next door his grandmother in Memphis, Tenn.

"My dad took care of Elvis and his family before he had a record out," said Weiss’s son in a telephone interview. "We used to play in the yard with Elvis. He used to sing to us."

In February 1971 the King of rock and roll cracked his crown on a microphone while performing in Las Vegas at the International Hotel, now the Hilton. So, the dentist made the crown in an emergency.

Here is a little story about a crown of a big star which is still remaining a memory for us, even if it’s not a usual object.
