Rolling Stones Hot Rocks RIAA Diamond Album Award presented to Bill

RIAA Diamond award for the Rolling Stones Hot Rocks album presented to the Rolling Stones Bill Wyman. This album was released in December 15, 1971 and was quickly certified Gold by the RIAA on January 20, 1972. On October 24, 2002 it had surpassed the milestone of 10 million units sold in the U.S. by being certified at 12 million copies sold and earning it a prestigious RIAA Diamond sales award.* This is the rare chance to own an actual RIAA Diamond award -- the rarest of all RIAA awards -- personally owned by a member of the Rolling Stones. It was acquired in a sale that Wyman himself organized that included a large amount of his personal Stones memorabilia. Regarding the album itself, it contained all manner of Stones classics from "Time Is On My Side" to "Jumpin' Jack Flash" to "Wild Horses" and all the hits in between, the album went to #4 on the Billboard 200 Top Albums chart. Incredibly, at this writing as of November 2020, the album has also spent a staggering 347 weeks on the chart. The album has become the best selling of the Stones' career. RIAA Diamond awards have a unique construction. Produced only since 1999, the design is a creation of renowned crystal designer Peter Wayne Yenawine, who was a master designer at Steuben Glass and who has been commissioned by five U.S. Presidents to create gifts. The award is topped with a diamond-shaped 728 ct. crystal placed in a faceted sterling silver setting. The crystal portion of the award is 12" high and the crystal spire and diamond-cut crystal top sit inside a black tapered 3-1/2" high base which is engraved with the recipient's name, the name of the album and the date. Includes MusicGoldmine.com Letter Of Authenticity Item Highlights: Detailed Item Description: This RIAA Diamond award would have been made in 2002 making it 23 years old. Besides the rarity of Diamond awards themselves, the award's most spectacular feature is undoubtedly that it is presented to and was personally owned by Stones bassist Bill Wyman. The crystal award spire and diamond-shaped top, and presentation plate on the base are all in Excellent condition. The black base itself has a couple of very minor marks and a small area of tape residue on the back along with a hand written number. Wyman is known as a detail-oriented collector and archivist of his lifetime of Stones memorabilia so it is likely a catalog/archive number. UPDATE: We recently had the sterling silver bezel professionally cleaned by the official award maker (it had tarnished) and learned from them that this award is one of the first 500 Diamond awards made--it is #438 actually. As such it features a sterling silver bezel. Apparently, 501 and up were made with Rhodium-plated bezels. S ee our added close-up photo of the bezel with its' "925" (the indicator for sterling silver) and "RIAA" stamps. Don't miss this is a rare opportunity to acquire a coveted and exceedingly hard to find RIAA Diamond award for the Rolling Stones best-selling album of all time, complete with spectacular presentation to the Stones' Bill Wyman himself.

These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 50-year-old award purported to be in 100% perfect condition, it might be too good to be true. After all, an antique should have "good' wear. If not, you might want to question the piece. As to where they came from, they could have been displayed in record label offices, recording studios, artist manager's offices, radio stations, private collector's homes and yes, of course, possibly the artist's or songwriter's home. Typically, we don't know all the places they may have been over the years other than what we've stated in the description. Finally, a word on photos: Our photos are zoomable so you can get a very good look. Do let us know if you want photos of any other details on our pieces and we'll be happy to provide. *RIAA sales data source: RIAA.com RIAA DiamondAward with diamond-shaped crystal top, sterling silver bezel, RIAA DiamondAward with diamond-shaped crystal top, sterling silver bezel, RIAA DiamondAward with diamond-shaped crystal top, sterling silver bezel, Crystal spire and top are in Excellent condition, base is in VG to Excellent with a minor mar or two First presentation award made in 2002 #428 of the first 500 Diamond Awards ever made (the first 500 had a sterling silver bezel, later editions had rhodium-plated bezels) Presented to and personally owned by Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones RIAA Diamond awards have been made since 1999 and are awarded to releases attaining over 10 million in U.S. sales, making them the rarest RIAA awards Crystal award measures overall approx. 16" high, base is 3.5" high Beautiful and very rare collector's item for any Rolling Stones fa : FREE, insured worldwide shipping and more benefits included (). : FREE, insured worldwide shipping and more benefits included (). : FREE, insured worldwide shipping and more benefits included (). : FREE, insured worldwide shipping and more benefits included ().
