It is worth 300 dollars but i saw one on eBay for 445 so it ranges between 300 and 400 dollars. REPLY/EDIT: I don't see this being anywhere near "correct" ... a 1965 dime with silver content is valuable however 1966 dimes ... WELL ... are "a dime a dozen" ... Search Ebay and you'll find nobody bidding .99 cents for them! I hope this helps.
