xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 03/22/2013 10:59 pm I'd say around $10-$15 Edit: Also, I'm not sure that they made proof sets that year so I assumed you meant Uncirculated(Special Mint Set). If they did make Proof sets, my guess is most likely wrong. Edited by xZACKx 03/22/2013 11:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 03/23/2013 12:12 am Proof sets were replaced by special mint sets for '65,'66,'67. If this is indeed what you have then the value is around $10-$15. Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 03/23/2013 11:17 pm In 1965, 66, and 67 the Mint did not strike true proof coins. What they did was overpolish the dies to strike the planchets one time and the result was a coin which had the characteristics of a proof but without all of the extra preparations involved in making true proof coins. These coins were not handled the same as real proofs since they did come in contact with each other and you will see marks on some of them. A proof coin is a highly polished planchet struck twice by highly polished dies, at least that's the way they used to make them it could be different now. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
