Overview

Historical significance

1966 was the second year the U.S. Mint produced quarters using the copper-nickel clad composition instead of 90% silver, a change necessitated by the Coinage Act of 1965 due to silver shortages. Mint marks were also omitted from 1965 to 1967 to discourage coin collecting and keep coins in circulation.

Estimated value

$0.25 - $1.00 (Standard circulated condition is worth face value; higher premiums are only for uncirculated or high-grade specimens)

Care & preservation

Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can cause abrasive damage and significantly reduce its value for collectors. Handle by the edges to avoid leaving oils from fingers on the surface.
