- This is the greatest United
States legal tender coin collection of
official Popeye characters ever assembled! Each of the 6 genuine brilliant
uncirculated U.S.New York State Quarters is enhanced with the official colorized image of the
entire Popeye family of characters

coin collection that brings together Popeye, Olive Oyl, Brutus, Swee’ Pea,
Wimpy, and Jeep. You’ve been delighted by their adventures in comics and
movies – so don’t miss your chance to own them together for the first time
in this stunning new coin collection!
- Popeye became one of the
first licensing sensations, appearing on puzzles, dolls, games, books,
banks, postage stamps, lamps, and tin toys, many of which are now valued
collectibles both in the United States
and internationally. As one of the most readily recognized icons of the
20th century, Popeye has been sought after as an advertising spokescharacter
for some of the world's best-known brands, including Pepsi, Duracell,
Mazda, Toyota, MasterCard and Campbell's. He has his own Popeye’s Chicken
& Biscuits chain of 1,578 fast-food restaurants located worldwide. This
is the first time in history that Popeye is featured on U.S. Coinage.
- Officially licensed by King
Features, each statehood quarter is struck by the U.S. Mint and then uniquely
and permanently colorized by the Merrick Mint.
- To commemorate the Popeye
Family of characters, it is especially fitting that the U.S. Mint's New
York State Quarter has been selected for this magnificent tribute. In
1929, New York was the
birthplace to the creation of Popeye by Elzie Segar -- the creative genius behind Popeye, the
Oyl Family, Wimpy, Swee'pea.
- Coins are individually
encapsulated in airtight holders. Includes a deluxe black velvet display
case and full-color Certificate of Authenticity.
