That's a pretty remarkable price.  You can buy a decent set for just a few more dollars than that.

The other coins from the set aren't doing so well but that's to be expected

I hope your other coins do well Jim as I have a few FDC sets and would love to see them go for high prices,As an individual coin you dont see the 1966 proofs come up that often

My 2 cent has developed a spot,if anyone has a spare i would greatly appreciate it if i could buy one off someone,but it has to be perfect.
The rest of my set is perfect & the 2 cent upsets me when i look at it.
Good luck with the rest of your coins Trout.

My 20c has done the same.  It didn't have it when I bought it.  Very disappointing.
