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. The design emphasizes the state’s wild horses and western landscape, making it one of the most recognizable quarters of the 2006 releases.
Collectibility
This silver proof issue was included in the 2006 United States Mint 50 State Quarters Silver Proof Set. Its lower mintage than the clad proof version, 1,585,008 versus 2,882,428, gives it stronger appeal for collectors building silver proof State Quarter sets and modern U.S. silver proof collections.
