# 101 - The State Quarters - Part 12
Starting in 1999 the US Mint issued a 10 years program that honored each of the nation’s states in the order that they ratified the Constitution or were admitted into the Union. They chose the $.25 coin to be the vessel of the homage.
All the coins obverses show the same profile of George Washington and the reverses were usually chosen in popular contests in each state.
All the coins that I am presenting here are NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo with 90% silver purity and weight of 6.3g.
The first coin is a 2006 "Nevada". It features three wild mustangs. The wild horses are depicted beneath snow capped mountains and a rising sun.
The second coin is the 2006 "Nebraska". It features Chimney Rock and an ox drawn wagon. Chimney Rock is a National Historic Site. The ox drawn carriage carries pioneers moving West.
The third is the 2006 "Colorado". It features the Rocky Mountains. It shows a view of the mountains with evergreen trees in the foreground.
This series will continue very soon.
