Historical Significance
Nebraska was the 37th coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program and honors Nebraska as the 37th state admitted to the Union. The design centers on Chimney Rock, one of the best-known landmarks on the overland trails west, making this quarter especially appealing to collectors who enjoy American frontier themes.
Collectibility
The 2006-S Nebraska clad proof is a solid choice for collectors building complete State Quarter proof sets, modern U.S. proof quarter runs, or Nebraska-themed collections. Its mirrored proof finish, classic pioneer design, and companion silver proof counterpart give it strong appeal within the series.
