The value of a 1966 coin depends on several factors, including the coin’s denomination, condition, and whether it has any errors.
- Circulated quarters: Generally worth their face value ($0.25) to $0.50.
- Uncirculated quarters: Can fetch higher prices, ranging from $1 to $10+ for standard coins in Mint State (MS) grades.
– MS-65: $15.00 – $50.00.
– MS-67+: $500.00 – $21,000+. The highest price recorded for a 1966 Washington quarter is $21,000 for an MS-68+ graded coin.
- Special Mint Set (SMS) coins: These coins, released in place of proof sets, were of higher quality than circulated coins. They can range from $3 to $50+, depending on quality and designations.
– SMS coins with Cameo (CAM) designations can be worth even more, with an SP68 CAM graded coin selling for $4,113.
– SMS coins with Deep Cameo (DCAM) designations are the most valuable, with an SP68 DCAM selling for $6,500.
- Errors: Certain errors can significantly increase a quarter’s value. For example, a 1966 Washington quarter with a large die break on the reverse sold for $95.
- Circulated pennies: Generally not worth more than face value, according to [www.youtube.com].
- Uncirculated pennies:
– MS-65: Worth $20.
– MS-67+: Worth $8,500.
- Errors: Errors can dramatically increase the value of a 1966 Lincoln cent. For instance, a 1966 penny with a small die break on the rim near Lincoln’s shoulder sold for $94.
- Circulated dimes: Worth between $0.15 and $0.35.
- Uncirculated dimes:
– MS-65: Worth $10.
– MS-68 with full bands: Sold for over $2,800.
- Errors: Errors can significantly increase the value of a 1966 Roosevelt dime.

– A 1966 Roosevelt dime struck onto a thick planchet (3 grams instead of the standard 2.5 grams) sold for over $50.
– An SMS coin in MS-68 Ultra Cameo sold for $1,900.
- Circulated half dollars: Typically valued between $4.55 and $5. This coin contains 40% silver, giving it a base value related to the current price of silver.
- Uncirculated half dollars: Higher grades can be quite valuable.
– MS-65 and higher are most valuable.
– MS-66: Sold for $1,250.
- Errors: Doubled dies or other striking anomalies can increase the value. Doubling is most noticeable in the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST”.
