1966 Proof Set PCGS PR67
1966 proof sets have performed really well the last two or so years, with prices of up to $4,500 for top-quality sets. The set photographed above is not the finest out there, but it’s certainly better than average. The grades are mostly PR68DCAM, with one PR67DCAM and one PR69DCAM (more details below). The fifty cent—the most popular coin in the set—is more-or-less flawless, with only the slightest surface imperfections visible under a glass. The copper is also nice: The two cent is almost perfect (no fingerprints, spots, and so on), while the one cent has only minor discolourations on the obverse. As for the price: $1,950 sounds like a lot if you’re not familiar with how these sets have been selling lately. Indeed, considering that the fifty cent and twenty cent pieces alone sold for over $1,800 in an online auction last July 2013 (grades identical to the coins in the set photographed above), my price is actually very reasonable. At $1,950, you essentially get the ten, five, two, and one cent pieces for $150. Individual grades as follows: 50C: PCGS PR68DCAM 20C: PCGS PR69DCAM 10C: PCGS PR68DCAM 5C: PCGS PR67DCAM 2C: PCGS PR68RD DCAM 1C: PCGS PR68RD DCAM Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading.
