Historical Significance
Nevada was the 36th coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program and honors Nevada as the 36th state admitted to the Union. Its design emphasizes the state’s wild horses, western landscape, and Silver State identity, making it one of the more distinctive western-themed quarters in the series.
Collectibility
The 2006-S Nevada clad proof is a strong choice for collectors building complete State Quarter proof sets, modern U.S. proof quarter runs, or Nevada-themed collections. Its mirrored proof finish, popular wild horse reverse, and San Francisco proof format give it solid collector appeal, while the separate silver proof version offers a scarcer companion for set builders.
