Washington — The United States Mint announced today that 50,000 limited–edition Nevada Official First Day Coin Covers will be available online at www.usmint.gov, beginning at noon (ET) on March 13, 2006.
Priced at $19.95, the Nevada Official First Day Coin Cover features two Nevada commemorative quarter–dollar coins from January 3, 2006, the first day of mintage — one each bearing a mint mark from the United States Mint facilities at Philadelphia and Denver.
Each limited–edition coin cover includes the two quarters on a handsome display card with a 39–cent United States Lady Liberty and Flag postage stamp. The postmark of January 30, 2006, Virginia City, Nevada, marks the day the Nevada quarter–dollars were first released to the Federal Reserve Bank and to the public.
The United States Mint 50 State Quarters Program honors the states in the order that they were admitted into the Union. Five commemorative quarters are issued each year from 1999 through 2008, at approximately 10–week intervals.
