2006 Nebraska Proof Quarter - S

In December 1997, America's most adventurous coin program became a reality when President Clinton signed legislation authorizing the U.S. Mint to issue the innovative 50 State Quarters collection. Starting in January 1999, each of the 50 states in the Union will be honored on a unique Quarter Dollar commemorative coin. Five states were featured each year, based on the order in which they ratified the Constitution or became states. On the front, otherwise known as the obverse, the mintmarks can be found to the right of George Washington's portrait. The small "S" indicates San Francisco Mint.

The Nebraska State Quarter was the second State Quarter to be issued in 2006, following the release of the Nevada coin earlier in the year. The Nebraska State Quarter depicts an ox-drawn covered wagon carrying pioneers on their journey west through Nebraska on the Oregon Trail, they are passing Chimney Rock. Other historic trails to the west passed through Nebraska in the 1800's. Among them were the Mormon Trail, the Pony Express, the Lewis and Clark Trail, the Texas-Ogallala Trail and the Sidney-Deadwood Trail.

Each coin is encapsulated - please keep the coins in their protective coin holder to maintain their condition.
