Limited Edition! Only 75,000 of the 2001 North Carolina Official First Day Coin Covers will be produced. This wonderful collector's item features two North Carolina quarters from the first day of mintage -- February 26, 2001. Each cover includes quarters from both the Philadelphia and Denver mint facilities on a handsome display card with a 34-cent Statue of Liberty postage stamp. The postmark of March 12, 2001 marks the day the first North Carolina quarters were released to the Federal Reserve Bank and to the public. The North Carolina quarter highlights the famous 1903 photograph of the "First Flight." It commemorates the historic feat that took place on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina with the first successful flight of a heavier-than-air, self-propelled flying machine.
