Nebraska Limited Edition Complete 9 Coin Set

9 Coin Set
This complete, 9 coin acrylic collection display is the envy of every Nebraska memorabilia collector. It is very sharp - pictures hardly do it justice! 3 pieces of clear acrylic just over an inch thick hold all 9 University of Nebraska commemorative coins produced, sandwiching the coins between the acrylic and allowing you to see both the front and the back of each coin. The Red "N" in the center and the clear polished, light catching edges all highlight the unit as laser engraved pillar graphics and the phrase "A Tradition of Excellence" says it all about the history of Nebraska football. The unit is slightly over 9" tall by 14" long and over 1" deep. It stands upright in a base consisting of 2 tiered layers of black acrylic, and includes one each of the following coins: The Final Big 8 Game coin, the 1996 Fiesta Bowl coin, the Back to Back National Champions coin, the Tom Osborne¹s 25 Anniversary coin, the 1997 National Champion coin, the Frank Solich coin, the Charlie McBride coin, the Eric Crouch coin, and the most recent addition, the Callahan Era coin.

1996 Fiesta Bowl Coin
This coin is an exact duplicate of the coin tossed just prior to the January 2, 1996 Fiesta Bowl game, played in Tempe, Arizona, between the University of Nebraska and the University of Florida for the collegiate football national championship.

The game did turn into a mismatch, with Nebraska completely dominating Florida and winning the game 62-24. The game is remembered by many Nebraska fans for an incredible, nearly full field run from scrimmage for a touchdown by quarterback Tommie Frazier that is referred to simply as "The Run".
