Attention: American-Coin Collectors:?
Hi. I know very very little about coin collecting….
I found an American quarter dollar. Being that I live in Canada, I am unfamiliar with the American centenial coins, which I believe this may be. I would like verification. The banks are closed today, or I would just go there!
This coin has Nevada 1864 across the top.
The center is a sunrise/sunset behind mountains/foothills, and 3 running horses.
The border of the engraved horses seems to be a plant or branch of some sort.
Under the horses feet, is a banner saying ” The Silver State ”
Then the date 2006.
I assume this is a state centenial coin.? Does each state have a centenial coin, and do the American banks issue them upon request?
Thank you for your time !

I believe this is what you found: http://www.usmint.gov/images/mint_programs/50sq_program/states/NV_winner.gif
The state quarter program
During the program, a new statehood quarter is released by the United States Mint every “quintile,” or 1/5th of a year (73 days); five designs are released each year. Each quarter’s reverse celebrates one of the 50 states with a design honoring its unique history, traditions and symbols, usually designed by a resident of that state and chosen by the state government.
The quarters are released in the same order that the states joined the Union. The obverse of each quarter is a slight redesign of the previous design of the quarter.
The statehood quarters program has become one of the most popular commemorative coin programs in United States history; the United States Mint has estimated that over one hundred million individuals have collected state quarters, either formally or informally.
Although the statehood program is, by legislation, intended to include only the 50 states, legislation has been introduced four times in Congress to extend the program an additional year to include the District of Columbia, the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. territories of Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa. During the 106th, 107th, 108th, and 109th Congresses, these bills had passed through the House of Representatives, and even had 34 Senate sponsors for the Senate bill during the 108th; however, none of these bills were passed by the Senate. H.R. 3885, the version in the 109th Congress, passed the House by voice vote in the early hours of December 9, 2006, just before it adjourned sine die; but the Senate adjourned sine die shortly thereafter without considering the bill. [1]
However, the 1997 act that authorized the statehood quarter program provided that if the federal district, or any of the territories or commonwealths, became states before 2009, that new state would get a quarter.
Collectible value
The U.S. Mint designed the state quarters series, not as a potentially valuable collectible, but as a way of spurring interest in U.S. coinage – which had seen relatively few changes in design in the past 50 years – and in U.S. history. While mintage totals of the various designs vary widely – Virginia quarters are almost four times more abundant than Maine issues — none of the regular circulating issues are rare enough to become valuable investments.
There was, however, a measure of collector interest and controversy over die errors in the Wisconsin quarter. Some designs feature corn without a smaller leaf, others feature a small leaf pointing upwards, and still others have the leaf bending down. [3] A set of all three quarters from the Philadelphia mint sold on eBay in February 2005 for $300.
No other variations on any other state quarter issues have been noted as of 2005.
The 1999 silver proof coinage set is valuable, being the first year of the series and with a relatively small mintage. Obviously it will not be found in circulation and has to be privately purchased. (The set in base metal is worth only a fraction as much.)
