Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary in the US state of Indiana as the eighth of ten children. The musical talent of the children, especially that of Michael, showed early and was promoted by father Joseph with questionable means. Known as the "Jackson Five", the five brothers received record contracts and first performances that made them popular throughout the country. In 1972, the formation split and Michael, who had previously released solo projects, released more successful albums. In 1982, "Thriller" was released and caused a Jackson hysteria. The album broke all sales records and received eight Grammys. The album "Dangerous" from 1992 was also a worldwide success. However, the steep career of the exceptional artist was soon overshadowed by various accusations - among other things, Michael Jackson had to stand his ground against the accusation that he had a sexual relationship with a child. He also had to defend himself in court against a broadcast that strongly distorted his private life. As a result, he withdrew further and further from the public eye. The megastar and father of three died of propofol poisoning on June 25, 2009, leaving behind not only his family but also a gigantic fan base and numerous secrets. The **Michael Jackson silver proof coin in color** is limited to 10,000 pieces worldwide and will be delivered in the original box including a certificate of authenticity.
